Twelve Weeks, Five Days

Not much to report today. Emily had a decent blood gas this morning – the pCO2 was 68. Her weight is 1646 grams, so she seems to have been hovering the past few days, but the scales in the nursery seem to be a bit off, and she was ademic last week, so she’s roughly 3 lbs, 10 oz. Her feeds have been increased to 35 cc’s every three hours. She seems to have some reflux issues with her feeds now that she’s on the CPAP. Her nurses can usaully wean her down to around 32% oxygen, but she starts desatting after her feeds, so she needs a bit more oxygen. Right now she just seems to be hanging out and growing.
