1100 hours. 11:00 am

She had two episodes during the night but they weren't all that bad. Her weight is up to 2630 grams. I will convert that later. Poor Siri wasn't able to figure it out this morning yet. Reckon she had not had any coffee. We sat with her before church this morning and she looked cute. And she did well. She only dropped her oxygen one time and recovered it on her own.

We will spend more time with her later. Today we are having a family get together in remembrance of Christen.

1212 hours.

I stand corrected. She is not being moved to MCG. She is being moved to GHSU, I mean Georgia regents University of Augusta children's medical center. I know, same thing.

(For those not from around here or familiar with my dry humor there has been a local controversy regarding the name of a local hospital. Since 1928 it was called medical college of Georgia or MCG for short. Then it was changed to better streamline things in the last couple of years to Georgia health sciences university. Then to make things better a new director was hired and he decided to combine a local state university and GHSU and rename it to Georgia Regents University. But locals became so upset regarding the name change and that it didn't include the name of Augusta in the school name it was changed to GRU of Augusta as of this year. Still waiting to see if they are going to change the signs on the buildings from MCG.)

It's a great hospital with great children's doctors and specialists.

 Aubrey had a good day.  The nurse said she dropped her sats once but got it under control on her own. She had a great big gag/cough while we were there this afternoon and her sats dropped into the 50s...her heart rate stayed ok though, and she got everything back down and worked it out.  We both got to snuggle her for a while too.  She is so dang sweet and I can't wait to be able to just hold her as long as I want without any tubes connected and without worrying that she's going to turn blue on me.  She has so many wonderful facial expressions and baby noises.  I can't get a video to post on here, but I wish I could so y'all could see and hear her in action.

They also upped her feeding. The biggest syringe is completely full so now they are filling more of them per day. She is using all breast milk and only a little fortifier giving her 2 extra calories per syringe. Now they are giving new syringe every 3 hours.

The phenobarbital was also increased.

Tomorrow we will chase down the dr and talk with him about what the next step is. Some inside information was that there are sometimes that they return babies back to university from GRU. But rarely. I think they should because they have had Aubrey for all this time and know how she responds to everything. So they should keep her. But then again is she recovers easily from surgery she could be sent home quick. We have lots of questions that I hope we can post the answers here.

So many prayer requests have been answered. No infections, good growth and the iv's held. Now we just have to pray for no reflux.
