These first two pictures are the "befores" because Mia had her canulla removed today!!! She is breathing on her own with NO suplemental oxygen at all!! God is good! The doctors decided that Mia had been doing so well that they wanted to try it....and so far so good! Mia now weighs 3 lbs., 3 oz.! She hit 3 lbs. on Sunday. She is 34 weeks today, which means that she should start on a bottle today. The nursing is going ok...some days are better than others, but she just needs to stay awake long enough to eat....they've also checked her direct bilirubin again and there hasn't been any change, so they'll check it again next week. Mia had an eye exam last week that showed some areas of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). Like the name states, it is a common affect of prematurity. The blood vessels in her eyes are basically not forming correctly. There are 3 zones within the eyes and she has Stage 1 ROP in Zone 2. Stage 1 is best and Zone 3 is best, Zone 1 is worst, so Zone 2 is in the middle. She'll have another eye exam next week to check her progress. Mia will have her 2 month immunizations this Friday. Her doctors said to expect her to have some spells and be a little restless, but that she should be ok the next day. She is at full feedings and has continued to gain
weight everyday. She is just doing great!
YAH! No Canulla!!!
