*Since Addison was having some issues with the 3 hour feeds, they've decided to continue to feed her every three hours, but to put it on a pump so that she receives it over the course of 1 hour. Hopefully this will help her tolerate it better. They will keep her like this for 2-3 days & if all goes well, they will drop it to 30 min, then back to true bolus feeds.
*She was supposed to have a vision test this week but that has been pushed to next week.
*At 6 weeks, Addison will have another head ultrasound. They did not see any brain bleeds when they screened her at 10 days but it is hospital protocol to do another screen at 6 weeks.
*Since she is still having a few episodes where she forgets to breathe & her heart-rate drops, they are going to keep her oxygen the same. She is still on high flow oxygen cannula at about 40%. They won't switch her to low flow oxygen until she stops having those episodes.
*I asked if they would be doing any more weekly blood tests & the dr said unless a physical exam or a change in her vitals show that it may be necessary, she does not plan on drawing any more blood.
*She did not gain any weight last night so she is still at 2lbs 12oz but I'm hoping if she continues to tolerate the feeds given over an hour, she'll have a gain today or tomorrow. Although I am glad she is not losing.
*One last thing, I met with a pediatrician yesterday & I really liked her. She seems to have quite a bit of experience with preemies and was very knowledgeable in everything I talked to her about concerning Addison. I think we have found Addison's doctor for when she comes home. Scratch that off the to-do list.
She wears clothes now and does have a dislocated hip. But otherwise, overall, our little miracle is doing well considering!
@LibbyG103...thank you for the update on Addison!! It sounds like the doctors have a great plan for her and I can't wait to read more of her continued improvement in the weeks to come. Yay for finding her pediatrician too!!
N14 Nov. Siggy: CELEBRATION!
@LibbyG103 Addison is beautiful! FX she gains some weight!
