Told you so!

I knew they only moved her for the sake of room!  Charlotte is now back in Phase 1.  The cause was 7 braidys on the midnight shift 2 nights ago.  They have also put her back on her CPAP because her breathing has been labored.  PFT and they were gonna take her off?  Really?  They have maxed out her reflux meds now, so hopefully that will help.  I believe she had 3 braidys today and she is very swollen.  She weighed 4lb 1oz yesterday and today she weighed 4lb 4oz which is NOT good.  She isn't suppose to gain that much overnight, she is retaining too much fluids.  They are going to test her proteins tomorrow to see if it's too low.  The were going to give her lasiks (sp?), which is a water pill, but by the end of the conversation it sounded like the doctor changed his mind.  I'm going to call in the morning when he returns.  She did finally smile for me today, but she was not smiling at all yesterday.

The past two days have been stressful for me for several reasons-1.  I knew it was too soon to go to Phase 2, 2. She's back at Phase 1, 3. She's back on CPAP, which they did warn me could happen, but she was doing so well, 4.  I know I'm not a doctor, but WHY don't they listen?  This may sound crazy to some, but my mommy intuition goes farther than a doctors "diagnoses".  Each time I've told them no, do it this way, it's worked out.  The good news is we only have about a month left and she'll hopefully be home.  She is 8 weeks old today and I'm sure she is just as anxious to bust up outta that place as I am, just not too soon so she ends up back.

Even though this sounds like I'm complaining about the hospital it's really only a reflection of a few days, not her entire stay.  I would go to this hospital in a heart beat (no pun intended) because I am that confident in them.  They are awesome there!
