Tess had her second cranial ultrasound, which showed that the bleeds seen in the original ultrasound had not gotten worse - just what we hoped to see.
Had to restart her caffeine because, although going off of it stopped her tachycardia, she started forgetting to breathe all the time, so it was decided that we'd take the occasional fast heart rate over the increase in apneas.
She has a daily routine, usually in the afternoon, of trying to nurse, then trying a bottle, then getting the rest of her feeding through her tube. After about 10 minutes of nursing/bottle, she is so worn out that she goes completely limp. :)
We're enjoying her new private room in NICU2, where she moved a couple of days ago. It's very quiet, and we have a window!
She seems to like being read to. She always turns her head toward our voices and opens her eyes wide.
And, last but definitely not least, her weight gain is picking up! This morning she was 3lbs 10.1oz. Maybe this will help her maintain her temp and she can finally come out of her "box"! Waiting eagerly for that day!
