Steady Progress

Our little girl continues to make progress. She took two partial feedings by the bottle today. It was a little less than she did yesterday but she ate it in a shorter amount of time. We just need to build up her endurance so she can take the whole feeding via bottle. She is still at 44 oz per feeding but she is tolerating that amount so they might up her again shortly.

The best part is that she hasn't had a Brady, that needed nurse intervention, in over two days!! Her heart rate and oxygen levels have dropped a couple times in the past 24 hours but she recovered on her own and the nurses didn't need to help her. She is at about the age (36 weeks) were the part of the brain that controls respiration is fully developed. This doesn't mean that she won't have any more Bradys but hopefully they won't be as severe.
