When we walked in the NICU tonight there were nurses, doctors and RT's with Madeleine. The Peanut is retaining a little water...they had to change her vent settings a bit and move her breathing tube in a bit. She grew and the vent tube is taped to her...so it was sitting a little high and possibly causing her some oxygenation problems. Feedings have stopped until they make sure she's on track again. They also gave her more hydrocortisone and won't be weening her off of that as quickly since it looks like she still needs it. Now we're wondering what the long term effects of being on that will be? It's a question for tomorrow.
It always seems like Peanut has a little "episode" right before her birthday...and it's less than 3 hours from her 1 month mile stone...I should have expected it! What was I thinking? She's been sailing along, doing great...that's always when it happens! I was going to go out and buy a pan for making madeleine's and whip those up...but it's 1:30 am...we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Birthday Madeleine!
