Tomorrow Fiona is getting her trach surgery. We still don't know a time because the schedule hasn't come out yet. It would be really nice to know! So just say some extra prayers for her tomorrow.
As for today, she is doing really good. Her feeds are up to 4 cc/hr and she is doing really good with it. Now that things have started moving through we are hoping that they can keep increasing it without any problems. Even though we are being very optimistic we probably should expect some setbacks. Like I said in the last post, they will make her NPO at midnight tonight and then HOPEFULLY be able to restart them soon after her surgery. It just depends on how she is handling everything. They might just have to start back at maybe 2 and if she does good then put it back at 4... no one is really sure. She weighs about 5 lbs. 13 oz. now! She is now bigger than my niece Adriana when she was born (she was 5 lbs. 9 oz.!!) She is starting to get some fat rolls, haha! YAY for fat rolls!! She has been staying awake more lately. Today she was up from 5 til 9!
I will post sometime tomorrow after her surgery and post a picture of her pretty little face without all that tape on it!
Let's clarify and say that Fiona is 5 lbs. 13 oz. and hasn't even reached her official due date yet :) Whoo hooo! Yea for fat rolls! How come it is not that exciting when we talk about our own??
ReplyDeleteI will say some extra prayers!! I can't wait to see her pretty little face without the tube or tape on it. (That was always one of my favorite things to see with Olivia.)
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching for an update! I'm always checking back to see more pictures! :)

Little Fiona will be in my prayers today! Hoping she recovers from surgery quickly so she can start packing the pounds on again. She'll be mad at us one day for wishing this weight on her ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck Fiona! Good luck to you guys too. I'm sure it's going to be a very stressful and trying day for you as well.
