This morning, Avi's girth is a little bit bigger. They had finally started her on my milk Tuesday evening, but had to stop while she had her blood transfusion yesterday (this is standard). They started her back up after the transfusion. They had an x-ray of her tummy taken today. Fortunately, it came back looking good, so they are continuing her on my milk. When they measured her girth in the afternoon, it was a littler smaller. She still has not had any bowel movement, so they're continuing with the suppository!
We saw Avi sneeze for the first time tonight. It feels like a big milestone in our eyes. Avi weighed a whopping 1 lb 13 oz tonight. Only 3 more ounces until she's 2 pounds! She's getting to be such a big girl!
Deacon had a follow-up echocardiogram this afternoon. We're THRILLED that it showed his PDA has closed. There is still a chance that it could re-open. He needs to be off the medication for 48 hours before they start him back on my milk. Hopefully they'll be able to start it back up sometime late tomorrow afternoon.
The respiratory therapists take him off his CPAP for breaks during his care times. Normally, he doesn't do well, but the nurse and respiratory therapist were pretty pleased with him (he didn't have too many desats). Slowly, we seem to be making some progress.
Deacon weighed in at 1 lb 8 oz.
