Cora is no longer using a nasal cannula. It was removed this afternoon. She is back breathing room air on her own. We spoke with the doctor this evening while viewing the ultrasound. All the information from the unofficial results is accurate. The doctor said this is what they were hoping would happen (blood clots and fluid be absorbed by the body). She will not need to be transferred to another hospital or have surgery. Everything is healing as it should. She will continue to have weekly ultrasounds until the bleed is resolved.
Hazel is struggling a little with her feedings and breathing. She had four bradys today. She gets in a deep comfortable sleep and forgets to breathe for a couple seconds. They are going to watch her but this is something that will correct itself with time. She will outgrow the bradys. Yesterday Human Milk Fortifiers were added to her milk. She spit up a couple of times and did not poop. They have taken her off the HMF to see if that will help with her spit ups and acid reflux. The next step is to feed her one part milk and one part formula. The formula is used to add calories for extra weight gain.
