with Gary Ga-news. Ok, so some of you may not remember Great Space Coasters lol. I find myself not posting as much because there really aren't many changes with Charlotte. She is in Phase 2 which is the last phase before they go home. I am excited, but then again I'm not. I don't think she's ready for phase 2. I think she was only moved there for the sake of space in the more critical areas. The babies in her room are all in cribs and/or with no oxygen. She still has more braidy's (her heart rate drops) than I want and when the other nurses are busy feeding babies they don't run to her bed side to check her monitor going off when it drops. We were visiting one day and the baby next to her dropped and the nurse just stood there and said, "oh, that's not right". WHAT?!?!? I hope they don't do that with Charlotte, sadly though, they probably do. I will be talking to the doctor today or tomorrow about that.
The resident told me on Saturday that they plan to take her off oxygen this week. Um...NO! She was gasping for air when she had a braidy yesterday. They probably know what they are doing, but it's very stressful as a parent. I do believe she will be home at the end of October if not before though. She seems to be doing really well otherwise. I'm just not sure I want her home that early if she is having these problems. As of yesterday she was up to 3lb 15oz. She tolerates her feedings pretty well. I will try to post a pic later. I'm hoping her "preemie head" goes away. That's what I call her head being long. Most preemies I've seen have it.
