We visited Charlotte twice today and she is doing well. This afternoon Donna got to hold her for quite a while and she was peaceful the entire time. Charlotte had her eyes open for most of the time while sucking on a pacifier. The pacifier of course looks huge for her since she still is so small but cute none the less. Donna also changed her first poopy (yes, I just used the word poopy) diaper. The nurse asked me to assist but I thought I'd leave it all to Mom. They still have her on an iv but the doctor said she may be able to get off of it within the next couple days. That would be another good sign and one less tube to worry about. Her food amount continues to increase every three hours which is another good sign for us. Charlotte has had a few Brady episodes where her heart rate slows down but the doctors say this is "normal" for her preemie age. One episode happened just as we were leaving tonight and "normal" or not, it still scares the crap out of Mom and Dad. We kissed her good night until we see her tomorrow morning.
