Delle's NICU Journey -- Week 3

Day 15:
Delle lost 10 grams, still at 2lbs 8oz.
Her little umbilical cord fell off today!
They've upped her to two doses of caffeine a day and have added a multivitamin (to make up for the nutrients she isn't getting not being in the womb).
She's still on 2.5LPM at 28%.









Day 16:
She's up 20 grams, putting her just under 2lbs 9oz.
Her feedings are up to 22ml every 3 hours and she's tolerating them very well!
They raised her high flow up to 3.0 LPM at 25%, she's been much happier there.
Her little bum rash is acting up again, so they've got her on a new paste.
And her bed was expired, so they switched it out today for a fresh one.







Day 17:
Delle gained an ounce! She's at 2lbs 10oz.
She still has a bum rash that's being treated.
And she's had way less residual after her feedings.






Day 18:
Delle has gained another ounce! She's up to 2lbs 11oz.
She's also up to 23ml of breast milk every 3 hours.
Today, when the nurse put her on me for skin to skin, it was like Delle was rooting. The nurse put her pacifier in and she was so content and wide awake just sucking away!





She always has her hand up by/on her face.



Day 19:
Delle still weighs 2lbs 11oz.
She's still content at 3.0 LPM on the high flow.
No other changes and that's a good thing!






Day 20:
Valentine's Day! // 30 Weeks!
I woke up feeling sick, so I wasn't able to go see or hold Delle. I didn't want to even risk getting her sick! But Sean was able to go up to see her and take her fresh milk.
She gained 10 grams, still putting her at 2lbs 11oz.
Her diaper rash is still hanging around, so they've been letting her air out, as well as putting paste on it still.




Her feet are so tiny!

Day 21:
Delle is up to 2lbs 12oz!
And she is back down to 2.5 LPM on the high flow!
Dad did her cares and she was so content during skin to skin.
