Small victories!

Today we did a room air challenge for LO and while she didn't get off the o2 completely (didn't expect she would), she was able to go down from 1/2L to 1/4L! It's not a huge change, but it means our travel tanks will last twice as long and it's one more step to no more tubes! Dr wanted us to have her on the pulse ox for 24hrs to evaluate how she does while feeding and sleeping and so far, the farthest she's dropped was 96 while eating, but majority of the time she's sitting at 99-100%! So proud of her!

Also, she's finally up to a solid 8lb even!! Another victory considering we've been battling reflux and decreased feedings (or so it seemed).

I just wanted to share with those I knew would understand :) Hope everyone is doing well!

    Lol you're right! She does start to feel heavy! Whenever people see her they say how small she is but she seems so huge to us now. I'm going to attempt to try on 0-3 clothes today and see how they fit.
