Children's Hospital continues to be very good to Charlotte.
Today she was moved off the CPAP to a high-pressure nasal cannula. Earlier in the week she didn't do so well on the regular cannula, which prompted the move back to the CPAP. But this time around we're hoping she can adjust. The next step is most likely no breathing devices which, while inevitable, sounds scary.
Charlotte was up to 2lbs 12oz today and is doing much better at maintaining her body temperature this time around. With the increase in weight, her feeds are on the way up to 26 mls by tomorrow. She is most definitely in her "feeder" stage.
The days in the NICU still seem to go by quickly, but they are definitely less stressful.
One of Charlotte's "pod-mates" went home today. That day will be here before we know it.
