As far as they can tell from the EKG there is nothing wrong with her heart. They said that the irregular heartbeat is caused from her being sick. We do the same thing when we're sick too.
Her belly is now looking much better and is not nearly as big as it was. They ruled out the NEC which is a bowl infection that can make her intestines die off. They found that her tummy was full of air from the CPAP mask that she was on.
She is being watched very closely though with the infection and they are trying to figure out if it is viral or not since influenza and RSV is going around right now. They are going to do an ecocardiogram on her heart today just to be safe and if the infection gets worse they are gonna isolate her from the other babies and put her in her own room.
She is still on the ventilator and will stay that way until her infection goes away and her breathing gets better(she stops having so many apnea episodes).
