False Alarm

We ran around Monday all day to get ready for Cambria. I blocked off the afternoon to bring Cambria back. The car seat test was the only thing left before she graduates from the NICU. Cambria needed to breath normally for 2 hours while sitting in the car seat. We found out at 10:00 am that she failed the first test. She had 4 bouts of apnea. The nurses tested her a second time with a towel behind her head and she passed. Dr. Mah thought she needs another few days to get ready. We think she might get to come home this weekend.

Aegean continues in get more food. He is up to 7 mL per feeding (versus over 70 mL for Cambria). He still needs his glucose, protein, and lipid feed to gain weight. His antibiotic course ended today as he continues to improve. Today he continued to gain weight. He reached 3 lbs 6 oz.
