She doesn't look very tiny in this picture, but if you look at the one below, you can see how small she is in comparison to me.
She had her eyes wide open for a quite a bit of the visit today. Her O2 levels are doing much better as well. The fact that she can work on growing right now rather than breathing will really help when it's time to remove the ventilator and get her to try breathing on her own again.
She's up to 14cc's every 2 hours. This won't increase until she gains more weight. Alice gained 7 grams last night. Not too much, but better than a decrease.
She's doing very well and it makes us happy that she's getting stronger each day (for right now at least).
Love the picture, Pat. She looks so cute - and not so newborn. Love and hugs to you both.
