Just a quick update on Penelope...
~ She is off oxygen :D
~ Her white blood cell is up and in the normal range :D
~ She is breastfeeding every 3 hours and supplementing 15 mls of formula to keep her glucose up
~ She is maintaining her glucose (it was in the 70's before her 6 pm feeding) and therefore is off of her IV fluids
~ The only monitor that she is now wearing is her pulse oximeter
~ Her pediatrician, Dr. Lam, should be coming to see her in the am, I suspect that he will run another CBC to make sure that her white blood cell levels are normal and hopefully will give her the clear to go home.
I was hoping that since she is off of everything but the pulse oximeter that she would be allowed to sleep in our room tonight, but no go. Better safe than sorry... hopefully tomorrow night she will be sleeping happily in our room.. better rest up tonight :D
Thank you for all of your continued love and support. We appreciate all the kind thoughts, words and prayers and are so very thankful for y'all! Hope you have a wonderful New Year!
