Productive Day

Mikaila gained another 20 grams today. At present, she stands at 1065 grams or 2 lbs 5 1/2 ounces. Today Mikaila attempted to breast feed for the first time. This was a practice session really but Mikaila displayed outstanding instincts. Breast feeding is great deal of work for her at this point so they limited the session to just 10 or 15 minutes. They will probably wait a few days before they try again. She really needs to direct her calories to growth.

She was taken off of caffeine today. Apparently, she is beyond the point of concern as it relates to apneas. She had a little de-satting today but as is her way, she bounced back nicely. She did have a slight episode during breast feeding and required a little blow by oxygen but had no problems after that. They will be adding iron tomorrow to her supplementation regimen.

That's about it. All told it was a productive day for our little peanut.
