February 16th-18th

Saturday Feb. 16th
Jason and his mom went to visit Cadynce today. When they arrived, they were greeted with good news. Cadynce's feedings had been increased AGAIN to 7 mL every 3 hours. Her IV fluids had been decreased, and she was only receiving proteins through the IV. (She had previously been receiving proteins AND fluids via IV) And, she had the lead (IV access) removed from her right arm. (This only left the PICC line in her left arm). She had also gained 1 ounce, so she was now 1 lb 5 oz. 

Sunday Feb. 17th
Cadybug had another big event day! She had the PICC line removed from her left arm, her IV fluids (proteins) were cancelled, and her feedings were bumped up to 9 mL every 3 hours. Our little girl is doing AMAZING! We are so thankful that she has done so well, and continuously improved daily. The doctors and nurses are still bragging on her progress, and that only fuels our hopes of her coming home SOON!!!!

Monday Feb. 18th
Cadynce weighed 1 lb 6 oz today, so that's 2 ounces in 3 days! We're hoping this means she will really start gaining within the next few days and/or weeks. I was told that I will be allowed to give her first bath this week! Cady is a little pink bundle of hope! Her color is perfect, she is opening her eyes more and more each day, and her cries are getting louder! She fussed for a few minutes this morning, but once the nurse changed her position, she calmed right down and snoozed away.
