Day 22, Morning

Hannah's lung X-ray (they're doing one almost every morning) looked a little better today, with both lungs fairly even.

The air that has been accumulating in her stomach (and being suctioned out via the feeding tube) seems to have diminished, indicating that the separation between lung and stomach has improved. This paves the way to try some food (actually formula) through her digestive system tomorrow.

She's getting another transfusion to top off the hemoglobin, which preemies don't produce enough of on their own for the first few weeks. The transfusion just allows all the other healing and development to continue more quickly.

All in all, she's doing great today!
