Today was a big day, Raylee had her first bath. She tolerated it pretty good. They just put a bunch of blankets in a little tub and you leave her swaddled and take out one extremity at a time soap it up and rinse. We put her in a little outfit after her bath just so she could get the whole bath and get dressed concept!Yesterday she was moved out of her isolation room to a shared room. We now have three other babies in with us and they are all smaller than Raylee. It is a little weird to see the 1 lbs 6 oz babies and think that we were there 7 weeks ago.
They took Raylees central IV out today and she is now line free except for her little feeding tube down her throat. We are hoping it stays that way. All and all she has had a good couple of days she is up in her oxygen tonight but she has had a pretty big day so that's ok. She is also on the lower end of where they want her glucose to be so they're watching that. They took her off continuous feeds and put her back on full feeds over 2 hours and then a 1 hour break. We will see how that goes, she might have to go back on continuous to regulate the glucose.
OH wow Jane! Cool! We want you to know we are praying for your sweet baby to keep growing and progressing!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo scriptures that come to mind: Isaiah 59:1 Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear to short to hear.
and
Psalm 9:1-2 I will praise you, O Lord, with all m heart... I will be glad to rejoice in You.
Jett and Oakley are praying for Raylee too!
Love,
Stacey Neuharth and the boys
