Today has been a better day. It started off with the neonatologist saying that she had not had any seizures last night. He also said that she looked like a totally different baby than in previous days, as she was more active and restless, which is a good thing in our case. She has lost some of her puffiness. Her milk intake orders were almost doubled, which she took in happily. One of the best surprises today has been that she took that milk from a bottle, which we weren't sure was going to be an easy task for her at this point. The doctors usually will let them work with a bottle for about 30 minutes, and Kamryn sucked hers down about 10! This is a good step in the direction of getting her feeding well on her own and off of the IV. The pediatric cardiologist came by and told us that the echo cardiogram looked like it may show a narrowing of the aorta, but he couldn't tell for sure, maybe just a shadow, so he ordered a follow up echo for this week. He was really laid back about it all and did not seem to think it was a problem. Still no news about a cause or exit date, but we'll take the little victories as they come.
If we get new info tonight we will post again. Hopefully we'll also have pictures of her eating from a bottle. : )
