Day 12

Today there was really no change with Emma, same old stuff. She was put back on her belly and loved every minute of it. Her oxygen requirements have been up and down today and the respiratory therapists are adjusting her oscillator as needed. She did have another set of blood cultures drawn today, so we will have to wait and see if they will stay negative. She is still off of her phototherapy light and seems to be doing ok so far. She is still peeing, but not enough and is still puffy. They are going to restart the dopamine and see if they can get some of the excess fluid off of her. They are weighing her, but I am trying not to think that she is 675 grams. I will get excited and then tomorrow she could loose all of that water weight and be 500 grams. Eric and I are just waiting to see when it will be more accurate.
