Well, that was fun while it lasted. About an hour into Carla's kangaroo session with Hannah today, the doctor decided that Hannah needed to go back to the CPAP mask. Apparently, the latest blood tests showed that she was still having to work a little too hard with just the cannula. So, she's back to the mask for a few more days, after which they'll try the cannula again. She's also back on an IV for some antibiotics. She developed what looks like a zit on one ear, probably from all the headgear she's been wearing, but they want to knock it out before it turns into anything more serious.
Two steps forward, one step back is the mantra in the NICU, but overall Hannah's still doing great. She's up to 3 pounds 5 ounces at the last weigh-in.

Another rough patch in the road to Hannah's recovery. Probably at least as rough for the 2 of you, though. So sorry; but take heart --she was doing better before, & she'll surely do better again.
