Khloe update days 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, and 71...one step closer!
First I want to appologize for the long wait for this post. I've had a busy week and every time I tried doing it, I got sidetracked. Well it's been an exciting week in the life of Khloe! She is now 10 weeks old and the time has flown by, well for me at lest. Most of you don't know it, but she was being given caffeine to help her breathe and now she is old enough that she shouldn't need it so she has been taken off it completely. She is doing great in the open crib and is still holding her temperature wonderfully. She is doing so good that they have moved her back to room 6 which is one of the "big kid" rooms and she is definitely now one of the big kids. As most of you know, her milk was being fortified to 27 calories and it has made her gain weight so fast that they have reduced it to 24 calories. As of tonight she is 4 lbs 6 oz and is getting more and more cute little rolls. Our little girl is getting so big. She is learning to breastfeed and she is a natural. She is actually surprising the nurses, so I hope this means she'll be going home sooner rather than later. Her respiratory support has been reduced several times this week, the last of which was yesterday and she is now on 1 liter on the high flow nasal canula and the next step is low flow which I believe is the last step before being completely on her own. She is taking a liking to music and there have been a few nights that her nurses have had to put on some music to keep her calm. She had another eye appointment this week and her eyes are still in stage 1 and zone 2, but they have actually improved a little bit. She is definitely a little stinker and she thinks it is very funny to poop and pee on mommmy and daddy when we change her diapers and it usually takes 2 or 3 diapers to change her, but we wouldn't change it for the world. She is getting 35 mL of milk and as usual she is doing great with it. I think that is all for now so check back later. Thanks for all the love and prayers.
