Aubrey had a pretty good night. She only had one true episode where her heart rate dropped, and she got back on her feedings. She did spit up a little this morning, but not too badly. She's gone up to 1lb. 12 oz. :)

6:30p.m.
Aubrey and I got to kangaroo this afternoon...she was so good the entire time all snuggled under my shirt while Adam and I talked to her. We went out to see visitors for a while, and came back to sit with her for about an hour before they closed at 6:30. About 45 minutes before we were going to leave, she had a doozy of an episode. her oxygen saturation dropped into the high 20s/low 30s (should be around 85%) and her heart rate dropped into the 20s/30s as well (should be 170ish). what follows is an open letter to our child:
Dear Aubrey, our sweet little pumpkin,
Please stop scaring the crap out of your parents. We are fragile beings, especially right now and especially where you are concerned. We cannot handle it when your stats drop like they did tonight and you turn a particularly unpleasant shade of blue. It's not your color. We don't like it when we can't see you breathing and when the monitor shows that your heart beat is slowing down far too much. It makes our heart rates speed UP far too much (and makes mama's eyes leak). So if you could, in the future, please refrain from letting these incidents occur we would be forever grateful.
Love,
Your freaked out mama and daddy
The doctor is supposed to talk to us tomorrow about his plan to decrease the episodes. Pray that he has a solution!
