While we were all sleeping, Myla spent the night gaining weight. That's right, she's tolerating her milk very well and this morning weighed in at one pound eleven ounces! And, just to be sure, when the nurses weighed her again tonight, she had maintained it. That's 50 grams overnight. A huge jump for our little girl. Here she is looking stylish in a onsie the nurses had. It is still huge on her, but she looked so darn cute with the ruffles on her bum. (That's her daddy's hand in there for a little perspective.)
Tonight, the nurses decided to give her a test run on a different oxygen machine. Its called a high flow machine and its just the little prongs up her nose, like any adult would get if they went to the hospital. We were able to get our first real look at her little face. Pretty cute huh? Mom was holding her tonight before and after the change and she did beautifully. If she does well overnight, they might just keep her on it. Its possible that she might go back to the CPAP if she doesn't. But, you never know until you try it, right?
