3 weeks old.

And we finally have her in some clothes. :-) Well, a shirt at least. She is now up to "full feeds" in her nj tube. Which is 15ccs and hour. That is about 1/2 and oz an hour, and is tolerating them very well. She will go in for her swallow study tomorrow and see about the possibility of her being able to eat without the feeding tube. She still has a little fluid in her lungs so they are keeping her on medication, lasix, to try and get that fluid and any other fliud built up in her body out. It helps the kidneys to do there job I guess. AND...she got her oxygen tube taken off today! This afternoon and evening she was keeping her oxygen saturation levels pretty stable without it. Her saturation levels are lower than the average newborn, she's at 75-85% generally. But look at how much of that cute face you can see now!
