Addy Update!! 3/4/08

Hi guys!! Sorry I haven't put anything up I have been busy with Addy!! She is now completely off of oxygen and barely gets any of her feedings through her tube. Sometimes she doesn't get any from her tube and she takes it all by bottle!!

She now weighs 5 pounds 8.7 ounces and is 19 inches!! She is doing so well now. She barely ever desats and if she does she pops back up on her own!! Her feedings may take a little time but I don't think it will take much longer for her to start taking all of her feedings. I think its just cause she has so many different nurses feeding her right now and they all try to feed her different. Once her main nurse come back I think she will be fine with her feedings.

So I talked to the Dr. yesterday and he told me that she will most likely be coming home in the next 7-10 days!! OMG this is so great!! I can't wait for her to get out now!! We've started getting ready for her home coming now and are just about ready!!

She did give me quite a scare today though!! She quit breathing and got the most pale and limp I have ever seen her! She choked on some milk and just quit breathing. I think she got too eager cause the nurse didn't really know what she was doing last time she was fed and only fed her 9cc when she usually gets 35cc! But she gave her some oxygen and stimulated her and she came back just fine and then I fed her all but 8cc from that feeding! She feeds fine with me I think the nurses just aren't sure how to feed her since she feeds with a cleft lip bottle. The haberman which you have to squeeze and I don't think they squeeze it.

Well I will let you guys know how it goes!! Wendall is coming over on the 8th to the 10th but may stay longer! So hopefully she does well enough to where he can take her back home on the plane and I can take a train back.

We are taking CPR classes soon and she will have her carseat test coming up to make sure she does ok with sitting up in it.
