Tuesday was a good day! Anna stayed off CPAP until the evening - then had to go back on. Her respiratory rate was getting too high. She was weighed in the evening and is up to 1435g - another ounce gained!
Lorissa spent the afternoon with Jude and Kaelyn.
Making a picture for Anna - turned more into decorating himself
Wednesday Anna had a sleepy day (after all that work breathing on her own for 36 hours). She is starting to show she is hungry around feeding time - getting mad (in her own quiet way). Anna does like to suck her soother - which is pretty cute - considering how big it is compared to her face!
Urology came up and talked to Lorissa about Anna's hydronephrosis of her left kidney. It is Grade 3 (better than it looked on the original ultrasound). It may still improve on its own or else it will need surgery to open the ureter up further. They will see her in 8-10 weeks for another ultrasound. If it is still the same grade - they will do another test to figure out what percentage each kidney is working. 40/60 is acceptable but anything worse will require surgery to fix.
They plan on doing another echo on Thursday/Friday to see how Anna's PDA and pressure in her lungs is and will likely try her off CPAP again early next week.
"Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother's breasts. On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God."
Psalm 22:10
