Thursday October 25

Found out that she had an ok night...a few apnea episodes like she has had before, but she steadied herself back out. Her vitals were all still good. The dr will be doing a test to check the amount of fluid around her heart sometime today

Conference with the dr went well. he's pleased with how she's breathing (apnea has been better today); the fluid around her heart has decreased; her PDA (tube that diverts fluid from getting in to the lungs in utero and is supposed to close on its own after a full-term birth) has closed on its own; the neuroradiologist gave official word that her brain scan was perfect. thank you ... God! Prayer request for the day: they need to get a picc line (deep, central IV line) into her since the lines through her umbilical cord need to come out in the next day or two--they have tried once before but her veins are just so small they had trouble. They will try again today or tonight, so we need it to be a success this time!
Well, they tried to get the picc line in, but no luck. Her little veins just wouldn't cooperate. We'll have to wait to talk to the Dr tomorrow to find out what he wants to do next. She had a wonderful day other than that, and Adam and I both got to touch her and say goodnight tonight.
