Little Miss Bayley

Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

Wednesday, June 20, 2007



Today was a better than yesterday. Bayley gained 2 ounces and is up to 3 lb 1 oz. We are very excited about this but the real test will be in 48 hours when we see if she is going to keep the weight on or if she will lose again. Dr. Mena was concerned because she did so bad on the bottle yesterday so he had Donna, our nurse, give Bayley her bottle this morning so I didnt get to see it. Donna said that she drank all of it with some help (holding her chin up so she would remember to suck and pulling the bottle out when she didnt breathe) It took her the whole 30 minutes to take the bottle. She seemed to have a tummy ache today. She spit up 3 different times today. She is still on 23 ml and will stay there until she gains more weight. An Occupational Therapist came by today and evaluated her on neurological development. The therapist said that she is atleast on a 29 week level maybe even a lil more. She passed so that is good! I forgot to mention it yesterday but she lost her cord. That is exciting since Sydney kept hers until she was 2 months old. They may move Bayley to two bottles a day tomorrow. They really want her to improve on suck swallow and breathe and Dr. Mena said it will take practice to improve. Sydney called again tonight. She seemed really good. It sounds like she is having a great time. She will be home Friday and I cant wait!! It is wayyyy too quiet at home...I need some noise back in my life lol. More tomorrow.
