Lorissa had a nice and long snuggle with Anna in the morning.
We received the test results back regarding her Vcug - and it came back as normal. This means that urine is not refluxing between the bladder and kidney, but that their is a blockage in the ureter tube. So now nephralogy has signed off and urology has signed on. We hope to hear from them next week on what they will do to fix the blockage.
We also received the results from her ECHO. This showed that she has patent ductus arteriosus (pda). To keep it simple - it's a duct that is supposed to close upon being born (google it for more info if you're interested). In Anna's case - the pressure in her lungs is still high (like when in utero) so it is not a bad thing the duct is still open - as it means her heart doesn't have to work so hard to get blood to her lungs. They are going to do another ECHO in a week - hoping that the pressure in her lungs will have decreased and her pda has closed (somewhat at least).
They plan on trying her off of cpap on Monday again! Can't wait to snuggle a baby that only has a few probes on!
She was weighed today and is up to 1342g - almost 3lbs!(up from 1307g 2 days ago) Keep growing little one!
Ryan came after work and got to have some cuddle time with Anna.
"When I thought, "My foot slips," your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul."
