Day 11 in the NICU- September 9, 2012

A lot has changed since yesterday. Avery is now 710 grams so she is slowly gaining her weight back. They removed the UAC (umbilical artery catheter) line from her belly and also started feeding her 1mL of breast milk every 6 hours. She was extubated today and is now on a nasal cannula.

This is a pic of me when I still had my breathing tube in. Hmmm, I hope I am not going to have knobby knees like my mommy.

 

This is the huge machine that is helping me breathe.

 

Our most recent family portrait. I am glowing!

 

I am holding daddy's finger and showing off my neon green nasal cannula.

 

This is going to be my new house for the next week. We get new incubators every week.
