Briana is doing so well. She's been gaining weight consistently, as of today she now weighs 3.78 lbs. They re-started her feedings again and she has been tolerating them so well that they have now increased them to 4cc! Briana also has very little residual coming from her stomach. She's been pooping stools on a regular basis. Briana also has only had one spell since being off the ventilator, she's been doing such a good job.
Tomorrow, Monday, they're going to do another echo scan of her heart to look at her PDA. Hopefully it has closed on it's own but if not then the surgery for Wednesday is still on. Also, tomorrow she is done with her antibiotics and they will do a blood gas and check to see is her infection has cleared up.
On Friday Briana was stable enough that Paul and I were able to hold her. It was amazing. Briana was passed out for most of the hold, she did open her eyes for Paul. Today Paul left for Puerto Rico and after dropping him off at the airport I went to the hospital too see our baby. I got to hold her again today and she was awake for 30 minutes while holding her. She would coo and was looking up at me and all around, it was so perfect. After she fell asleep she was a cuddled in and was making a suckling noise. I just can't wait to bring her home and have all these moments all the time!
