Mmmm...food (and thanks to HS and friends)

Things continue to get better for Caroline.  Her oxygen levels are down to 21%, which is what you and I breathe.  However, when she gets agitated, which is a lot (that's my girl!), they have to increase her oxygen a little.

At some point this afternoon, they were able to take her off of her blood pressure medicine.  She may have to get a little more medicine, but hopefully she has that issue under control.  It is great that she is off of the blood pressure medicine, so they can feed her breast milk.  She has a tiny, tiny feeding at 4 p.m. this afternoon.  2 cc's (30 cc's in one fluid ounce).  She did pretty well with her first feeding - they had to turn up her oxygen a little.  She had another feeding at 6 p.m. and did not do quite as well, but the nurse said that is not surprising.  She said it takes awhile for "the gut" to get going.

Overall, her nurse said she was doing excellent tonight.  That means another good night of sleep for me!

Also, Katie and I would like to thank my work for buying us groceries yesterday.  They could not have come at a better time.  We would also like to thank several of Katie's friends for giving her rides while I am at work.  Very, very helpful.

Talk to y'all soon.
