I've been hearing that there are a great many fans of this blog. I can only assume that Mikaila's irrepressible spirit drives that enthusiasm. We thank you for your continued interest in our little girl. I know that she feels the warmth, love and prayers of all of you and it fuels her progress and growth every day.
There isn't a ton to report at this point. She continues to tolerate her feeds without aspirates. They just fed her at 8 and will again at 11 at which point they will weigh her. Our hope is that she is able to maintain the tremendous gains she made yesterday.
We went to see her today for the first time in a few days; remember, we have been under the weather. The empirical data really has been strong from the start. Her heart rate has been perfect. Her oxygen efficiency has been off the charts. She hasn't needed oxygen at all. Her blood pressure has been terrific. But today, we got a chance to see our daughter for the first time in a few days and she just looked great. I always tell Kim that anecdotal evidence is the best kind (inside joke.) She looked calm yet vibrant. Her skin is really developing well. Her cheeks are starting to fill out. Her ears, no longer trapped by the mask that held the Sipap in place, are beginning to form. Kim swears she noticed a little calf. I'm sure she will have mad hops. She really just looked good.
That's about it for now. I may do a quick post after she is fed at 11 tonight because they will probably weigh her.
