We're back on the nasal cannula! The blood gas tests looked good enough to let Hannah try the "big girl" oxygen again today, so she's back to the nasal cannula. We'll cross our fingers and hope she's seen the last of the bulkier CPAP masks.
In other news . . . she's up to 3 pounds 10 ounces today. The growth chart below (click the image to enlarge) shows her progress since birth. Note how the first artificial weight gain around 7/29 began right after she started a course of antibiotics (it was mostly fluid build-up) and she resumed her weight gain just after the PDA surgery (which improved blood flow and lung function) and the end of the light treatment for jaundice. Also, note the dip in her weight gain around 9/8, when she switched to CPAP and had to start breathing by herself. And lastly, note how I have made you tilt your head to one side like a confused puppy. Hah!

Comments will be added to the blog as soon as we see them. This delay is needed to keep spammers from using Hannah's blog to advertise junk and spread viruses. -- Karl
