8 a.m.
The results from her morning sepsis screen haven't come back as of yet, so we're praying that she doesn't have an infection and can get off of the antibiotics. She had fewer episodes during the night (only a couple), which is much better than yesterday afternoon when she had about 3 in an hour when I was there (way to give mama a stroke, Aubrey). They turned the back up rate on her SiPAP up and they think that has helped some. She's just still so little and hasn't figured out everything she has to do yet. Hopefully things will be calmer this afternoon when I get there to see her.

Aubrey had a much better afternoon and evening than yesterday...therefore, so did I. :) She had another episode or two today, but nothing like yesterday. Her sepsis scan from this morning came back clear as well, thank the good Lord, but the doctor's going to leave her on antibiotics until tomorrow morning. He says it's better to stay ahead of any infection and not let it take hold--a preemptive bactericidal A-bomb. They restarted her feedings at 3 this afternoon. Apparently she was super hungry earlier in the day, as my mom saw her pitch a tiny fit trying to get the nurse to feed her. There was lots of crying and pulling of tubes and wailing fists and turning red. She was seriously ticked off about the food situation. She's back to eating 9ml every 3 hours.
