Ok so Nevaeh is doing amazing. she is up to 55 grams of milk a feeding period and she is up to two bottle feedings a day the rest is still in the feeding tube down her nose....She up to 6 pounds 1 ounce. she is a lil ill with a cold but its nothing serious... they rechecked her eyes and they are all better thanks to god.... and they think she will be sent home on oxygen which is normal...

Nevaeh is now 4 pounds 10 ounces. She is 16 1/2 inches long. They have fully taken her off the heated bed and now she is in a regular crib. They have fully takin her off the sipap machine and now she has regular breathing tubes as seen in the pics. They are trying to bottle feed her again and it is doing alot better this time. She is taking it but she will only take 5 grams at a time. It will take her time to fully get use to being bottle feeding but she should be home within like 3 weeks.

Ok so Nevaeh is doing great. She weights 3 pound 15 1/2 ounces, so she only has 1/2 ounce to gain to be 4 pounds. The sipap (breathing tube in her nose) has been down to 21% oxygen, which is what we breath, so today they are taking her off it for an hour and putting her on for three hours and doing that over and over again till Sunday and if she handles it, then she will be off it longer than an hour. They are starting to try to bottle feed her and it isn't working too well right now but they are gonna keep trying. She will be out of her heated bed in about a week and into a regular crip. She is doing amazing and it won't be too much longer till she comes home.

Nevaeh Pictures

Nevaeh is doing about the same as she has been. She weighs 3lbs.,9oz. now. You can see the oxygen tubes in her nose really well in these pictures. Serena gets to hold her for about an hour at a time. In the first picture you can see Nevaeh's eyes open. In the second picture you can see Nevaeh's little bitty hand touching Serena's chin. These were taken at the same time as the video post.

Nevaeh is off the respirator!

Nevaeh is off the respirator and able to breath on her own. She does have a oxygen tube under her nose. Serena was also able to hold Nevaeh for about an hour. The nurses were worried that Serena holding Nevaeh would have an affect on her breathing, that they may have to up her saturation level, but instead it helped her breathing and they lowered the level, Praise God! Attached is a video taken at the NICU unit of Neveah without the respirator.

Nevaeh is doing better!

The hospital called with an update on Nevaeh. They have taken her off her blood pressure medications, her stomach was bloated up because she was clogged, but she is starting to have bowl movements and her bloating has gone down considerably. They also removed a tube they had in her stomach to help the bloating. Another set of head x-rays were taken and there is no sign at all of brain bleeds, Praise God!! Serena has been sick, so she couldn't go up to see Nevaeh, but she is doing well and hopes to go this afternoon. All in all good report!

ok so Nevaeh is getting a lot better.....she is peeing again on her own, the infection in her blood was from the bacteria that everyone has on their skin and if it gets in baby's blood they get sick....well that is gone....she still has an infection but not as bad......she was put in isolation for a few days which is where they give her her own room, so she isn't around other babies and you have to wear a gown and gloves to get in......well now since the infection is gone, she was taken out of isolation and is back in the room with the other babies.......they have taken her off the meds to sudate her and she is moving now and opening her eyes a lot.....they had her on 3 meds for her blood pressure but now they only have her on one and they are trying to wing her off of it.....they still aren't feeding her but they cant feed her while she is on the dopamine for her blood pressure which is why they want to take her off of it.....she was 3 pounds 10 ounces but she was swollen which is why she weighed so much but she has almost lost all the swelling so she is losing weight and she is down to 3 pounds and 8 ounces......she will be a month old on Thursday December 18th!!!!!
