We began Sunday with a visit to the NICU's annual Halloween party. Every year, the hospital's NICU sponsors a Halloween party for all the preemies who have been at Central DuPage Hospital. We were able to see all the healthy kids who were at one time a preemie baby and it was a positive sight for Donna and I to see all those kids! I'm already looking forward to seeing my girl being one of those kids screaming for more candy! After the party, we stopped in to visit our little Charlotte. She was doing well and slept pretty much the entire time of our visit. We met with one of the doctors who said again that she is where she should be at her age. He mentioned that he may increase her caffeine dosage in the near future as her Brady episodes are still quite frequent and an increase in caffeine may help this. Charlotte is now up to 32 ml's every 3 hours and weighs 3 lbs 9 oz. As you can probably tell by now, she is gaining about one ounce per day. This is something the doctors watch for so we keep telling her to pack on that weight!!
