Very Strong Day

Mikaila had a very good day today. Early this morning, her team decided to try her on room air again. She had been satting in the high 90's so their decision was completely supported by her parents. She has performed like a star today. Her satts have consistently stood in the mid to high 90's. Initially, they left the canula in during the test. After a few successful hours, they decided to take the canula out completely. This is a very good sign related to her BPD.

She was weighed prior to her 8pm feed. She is up another 35 grams to 1045 grams or slightly under 2 lbs 5 ounces.

Kim will be attaching pictures any second now (that's her job in this process.) Enjoy.
