Hannah is off the CPAP and back on nasal cannula today, after several blood gas tests indicated she was ready again. Hopefully, she'll be able to stay on it this time, until she can ditch the oxygen completely. Her O2 requirements this time are around 30%, which is much better than the 55% she was needing the last time she was on the cannula, so that's a good sign.
The timing of this change is good, because my mom is coming in this weekend to meet Hannah for the first time, and she'll be able to see most of her face.
Hannah had an Exorcist-style power poop yesterday during a diaper change, which apparently got all over everything and everybody nearby. This was one day after Carla had commented that she had never seen a particularly voluminous movement like the nurses kept telling us about. Perhaps Hannah overheard that exchange.

ahh the joys of diaper changing! :-) way to go hannah!
ReplyDeleteMy cup runneth over!!! Not only did I see her whole face, I saw her whole perfect little body: Hannah was getting her first real bath in water. She was alert, looking around with wide open eyes, responding to our voices, squirming, kicking, and I swear she was trying to roll over. She is so much more beautiful than I had imagined. She has a perfect little face. That's not just Grandma talking. Sigh. I could cry. Grandma and Grandpa love you, Hannah.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Velma, for the road trip.
