33 Weeks!

Taylor is now 3 lbs 7oz! She's still on the high flow nasal cannula and it sounds like she will be on it for some more days still. While she's still needing the pressure, she's only on level 2 and she has been on room air for the most part for the past couple days.  Its progress at least.

People are starting to talk about how we might be out in a just a little while.  Some nurses have mentioned 10 days. I'm thinking a couple weeks still but I'll take sooner. Taylor has not started breast-feeding yet, and there's obviously the lung issue. In addition, something may be going on with her guts. It's like she's constipated a lot, and tonight Michelle saw a little blood in her poop. Michelle is thinking it might be the iron.

The nasal cannula has been a blessing in the sense of how different Taylor is with it than CPAP. She's so expressive and moves a lot and is alert a lot. However, the water issues are bad with it as well. Water just builds up in the line and its difficult for the nurses to see. Michelle sees it though and gets it out and is helping the nurses see it better as well. 

I've got the cold this week and haven't seen Taylor since Sunday. I look forward to seeing her soon.
