Emily has broken the five pound mark! She now weighs in at 2318 grams ( 5 lbs, 1.7 oz). She had a little more trouble breathing today. Her flow on the nasal cannula was increased to 2 liters/minute and at one point she was on 100% oxygen. She seemed to be working harder to breathe, so she wasn’t fed by the bottle today. Her feeds have been increased to 44 cc’s every three hours. One of the pictures today shows Emily being held by her Daddy and sucking on her thumb. She was asleep most of the day, but as usual, she woke up for her bath and was very alert and active aftwerwards.

I’m sorry to here that Emily had a little trouble breathing yesterday. That gives us all something specific to pray for. Hopefully today will be better and she will be able to bottle feed again. Rowena
