Today several things happened in the world of Cadynce. She had her 2nd brain ultrasound, and the results came back normal. They were looking for any bleeding on the brain, and found none. Her saline levels were dropped to 1 1/2 liters on her high flow nasal cannula. (This means less pressure is applied by the machine, so she is required to work a little harder to breathe on her own.) Also, the doctor switched her to a high calorie/ high protein formula at every feeding, just to help her gain weight faster.

No changes were made today, and Cadynce had a very calm day. She was still at 1 lb 9 oz.
March 6th
Today, Mommy and Cadybug had some one-on-one cuddle time. Cadynce's high-flow ventilator was removed, and she was only on basic oxygen. This was a big milestone, as a baby her size isn't expected to be able to breathe so well on their own! She's still our little SUPERSTAR!
March 7th
Cadynce was up to 1 lb 10 oz today! We are so glad that she is beginning to grow, grow, grow!
March 8th
Cadynce had her nasal cannula removed today! This means she is completely breathing on her own! (She still receives a dose of caffeine daily, to help stimulate her.) The Doctor increased her calorie intake, from 24 calories/feeding to 27 calories/feeding. This is done by mixing a 24 calorie formula and a 30 calorie formula in equal parts.
March 9th
Today, Mommy, Daddy, Nana Wilma, and Great Aunt Carolyn came to visit. Mommy held Cadynce and Nana and Great Aunt got to see her outside of her bed for the first time.
March 10th
Today Cadynce was 1 lb 10 oz! We were so happy! We set the goal for Cadynce to be 2 lbs within a week.....Read future posts to see if she met it! :)
March 11th
Today, Cadynce had an eye test performed. They look to see if her eyes are developed as they should be at her age (32 weeks). Everything was fine! They also did blood work, to check her Red Blood Cell count. That also came back fine.
