Week 38, Day 2

Somehow, Hannah managed to gain four ounces yesterday, weighing in now at 5 lbs 4 oz. Four ounces is the equivalent of two regular-size Snickers bars, and her legs are each about the size of a Snickers bar. I looked around for extra legs or Snickers bars that she might be hiding, but didn't see any.


She's down from half a liter of oxygen per minute to 2 tenths of a liter. 1 tenth is what the home oxygen level will be, so that's the target. We met with the doctor today to discuss the logistics of transitioning to home: pulmonologist, pediatrician, oxygen delivery, CPR training, rooming-in, and medications. We're still on track for sometime next week, but Hannah may be ready before we are.

  2. Yay for Hannah that she's in the "baby steps" area now!

    Good to hear how Haze's doing, & that you're planning to keep her! A lot of people would probably just ditch the dog, which seems, in our minds, unfair. After all, she can't help it that she's mentally deranged. ;) ;) .

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
