Well haven't posted anything in awhile so I figured I would put something up here!! Addy is doing great!! They have started feeding her by bottle using the Haberman bottle used for babies with cleft lips and palates. She seems to do pretty well with that as long as she is in the "mood" for it LOL It's either hit or miss with her bottle feedings. She either takes it or she doesn't!! She's only getting 5cc right now but hey its a start!!
The only down side as of right now is that she scares the crap out of me when she has her apnea spells. She stops breathing and desats with her oxygen levels. My nurse assures me that it is all positional since she does so well when she is in her bed. So I just have to find a position that is comfortable for both me and her. Hopefully I find that or she grows out of it quickly!! My heart drops to my feet and I start sweating under the gown and gloves I have to wear. Her little face just gets "dusky" looking. It gets pale and starts to turn a shade of purple in some places. I try to get her to breathe and she takes like two or three breaths and then stops again!!
But she is still doing so well on nasal cannula!! Two days ago I changed her diaper, gave her a bath, and weighed her all by myself!! The nurse was next door with another baby and said whatever I felt comfortable with so I did it all!! Minus putting on the new leads since I had to have gloves on the stupid things would have stuck to my gloves. LOL She weighs 4 pounds 14.1 ounces now and is 42cm long however many inches that is. LOL Well that's all I have for now but I will post more as she progresses!! She's so close to coming home now and it's scary!! I'll post some more pictures soon!!
