Day 59 in NICU

November 18th 2015


Big Girl!!

Today is the second day Abby is over 4 pounds-she gained 10 oz since yesterday. At 4 pounds babies get out of their isolettes. Abby was monitored for 24 hours with the top popped before they moved her out. She was able to maintain her own temperature so they made the big move after a warm bath. She has gotten so big we are feeling so blessed. 

After the bath and big move Abby had a frightening episode. She was given some vitamins in her tube feedings and refluxed the medication up. She was completely caught off guard and just couldn't recover. Shortly after she stopped breathing and it took a lot to get her to recover. After that she had more episodes and it was so sad to watch her struggle. I usually stay pretty calm but these episodes made my heart race.

Because of her episodes I did not get to feed Abby again today. Again I know she is still young but she did so good her first time. We will try again tomorrow. Today was hard for me to leave as her episodes were very scary. I made daddy call in the evening to make sure she wasn't doing okay. 

Got to hold her while we made the transfer! She was so alert.

Last bath in isolette with warmer
