Khloe update days 52, 53, 54, and 55...a little of the bad and a little of the good!

This last few days have been pretty much the same until yesterday (Wednesday) and now there have been some exciting things happen. Monday and and Tuesday were very uneventful and nothing had really changed. On Wednesday Khloe had her latest eye exam. Her eyes are a little worse than they were in her very first exam. When I posted the results of her first exam, her eyes were in Stage 1 and Zone 2 and I said that they want her to progress through the zones and not the stages. As of yesterday her eyes are in Stage 2 and Zone 2. It is a little un-nerving that her eyes are getting a little worse but the medical staff is not too concerned at this point. They are going to keep a close eye on her and hope that she doesn't progress anymore through the stages. Worst case scenario is that she goes blind, but that is very rare. If she does get worse they generally catch it very quickly and if that happens she will most likely have to have laser eye surgery that is very effective and even that isn't very common because most babies that reach stage 2 don't progress any further than that. Now for the exciting news. Khloe has had many steps forward the last couple weeks and today wasn't any exception. They have increased her feedings a couple times this week and as of today she is getting 30 mL of milk which is a full ounce! If she keeps progressing like this, her mommy won't be able to keep up with her. The most exciting news is that today she got off the bubble CPAP and she is now on the high flow nasal canula once again, which is the oxygen. She has been tolerating this pretty well, but she has had a few "AB's" and some desaturations, but at this point that isn't any concern. Her weight as of tonight is 3 lbs 6 oz which is down 2 oz from last night, but that is most likely because the equipment for the bubble CPAP is a little heavy. She is getting so big and before we know it, she'll be home. That's all for now so check back later. Thanks for all the love and prayers.
