Day 15 in the NICU- September 13, 2012

Avery is two weeks old today!!

Not much has changed since yesterday. Hopefully her weight will increase. Her weight yesterday was 1 pound 6 oz. Today they increased the breast milk to 3 mL every two hours. We got to kangaroo for an hour today. Her breathing has been pretty stable on the nasal cannula with NAVA vent. You can read more about the NAVA vent by clicking on the link. It works with the tube that is down her stomach. It's pretty incredible what modern science can do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurally_Adjusted_Ventilatory_Assist

Mommy and I spending time together today
 
This is the NAVA vent that my nasal cannula is hooked up to
