Mikaila had a good day after a difficult evening. She had accumulated excess fluid in her chest again and had to work a bit harder to breath. As was the case a few weeks ago when the fluid crept up her team gave her a dose of lasix, a diuretic designed to rid her system of the excess fluid. They were in fact hoping to see a dip in weight after the treatment and she answered the call losing 25 grams. She is back down to 1380 grams. Like virtually all premies Mikaila's lungs are lagging a bit, struggling to keep up with her spectacular growth. No worries here. She is doing very well. Sorry for both the brevity and tardiness of the post this evening. I spent the day and night working on getting the house ready for her arrival.
