Madison is such a sweetheart. She continues to get bigger and cuter everyday. Today she weighed 3lbs 14.8 ounces and her feeding has gone up to 34 cc's. We learned that her recent setback on having to put her back on oxygen is due to her increased food she is being given. The nurse explained that as she is getting bigger and having to digest more food it requires more oxygen and her little lungs aren't able to pump as fast to keep her saturation levels up. Although we also found out that the oxygen they are giving her is very small she is averaging about 10-15cc's which is almost their lowest setting.
She was really lethargic when we visited her today and we tried to feed her but she only took in 4 cc's. I guess she just wanted to sleep she only opened her eyes a few times to make sure we were still there watching her.
