  • @AliKay20 thinking and praying for you and your family.  Your little Avery sounds like a fighter. I hope her NICU stay is short.

    Just getting caught up and wanted to say congratulations @AliKay20! The NICU is so hard, but you'll navigate your way through it. Hopefully you'll go home before it gets too comfortable.  ;)

    Have they given you an estimated release date yet? Maybe we need a NICU check-in since there are a few of us, and a few NICU veterans from previous babies!
    Thanks!! And I'm so down with NICU check-in's. 

    As of now, at least another week. It all depends on Avery but she's still breathing faster than they'd like her to. Yesterday, her heart rate dropped significantly out of the blue and RN just sort of poked her feet to let Avery naturally wake up and reach her normal rate. Because this happened, even though quite common for preemie's, they're going to record it in her chart and if this happens again, there's a default 5 day stay to watch for x, y, z. Ahhhh!

    We went this morning but she just got a bath so we couldn't do kangaroo time. Win for the day: She is doing w feeding tube so they'll increase her amt. Here's to our strong little fighters!!
    Ah yes. A bradycardia (brady). Emmett has those about once or twice a day still, but he is also only 34 weeks adjusted tomorrow. They freaked us out at first but now we're used to them. They won't let us go home while he's still doing them so we're hoping he grows out of them in the next few weeks.

    I would also be down with a NICU check in. And the Brady's and the Desat's are extremely common. We experience a lot of them.  Our boys are 33w4d right now, so they are working on it. That's the main reason I couldn't stay over night, because they alarm a lot...

    I posted a NICU check in yesterday. I'll probably post it every Sunday and we can use it throughout the week.

  • I laid down for the last hour and got down to 5 contractions. They have been anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes apart. So the waiting continues!
