Hazel loves the bottle too much and is not remembering to breathe. She's got a very strong suck, but that's not good if she's not breathing! Last night, she gulped way too much way too fast, choked, bradied, and turned almost blue. I know this is common with preemies, but it sure doesn't make it easy to see! Today, the nurse just turned up her oxygen when she fed her. That went well, but it doesn't teach Hazel how to pace. It may be a long few weeks to see this get worked out. Oh, and her edema is REALLY bad now. :(
Jude had some major apnea today that resulted in some huge desaturations. His caffiene dose was increased, so hopefully that helps. He got moved to the back corner of Nursery B, which should be a quieter place than he was in earlier. We're hoping this helps him since he's so sensative to sound.
On a brighter note, my friend Amanda came and visited today! She lives in Toronto where her husband John is a student, but she's working in LA for awhile. She cleaned and grocery shopped for us, which was SO helpful. We're so grateful for great friends and great support from so many people. And it's always fun to introduce our kids to our friends!
