Emily has started feeds and stopped feeds, started feeds and stopped them. This is very common in premature babies. They are only giving her 1ml every 6 hours to help stimulate her bowel.
She had an ultra sound today. It showed some fluid in abandoned. Which isn't uncommon with being on ventilator and as sick as she was at delivery. All together they didn't see anything that made them concerned! So that was good. They just are keeping an eye on her belly. Bowel shifted to one side.
Tonight they are letting her rest. She got blood today and her blood gases have been great. Blood pressure is still good. And no signs of seizures. Her skin looks great in most spots but her back and sides of belly still look bad. She did how ever pull her breathing tube out. She is feisty! Haha... She doesn't like to be messed with a lot. So she gets very mad and starts pulling on tubes. She pulls the feeding tube out a lot. Her skin is so gooey that nothing really sticks to her. They had to re-intubate her today. Scary! But she is fine.
