The Little Baby That Could

Posted Jul 17, 2009 8:49pm

Sarai got off to a tiny rough start today, but ended like a champion, as usual! When Katie and I got to the hospital, she looked like she was having a hard time breathing. Rather than sleeping soundly, her eyes were half open, she almost sounded like she was snoring and she looked like she couldn’t get comfortable. After a couple rounds of suctioning her nostrils (poor baby, she HATED that!) she was breathing much more comfortably and seemed fine for the rest of the day.

I was worried about how trying the bottle would go after all the suctioning and her being really agitated (plus, she still just looked like all she wanted was to sleep). But the nurse tried to give her the bottle, and she drank 10cc’s on her own today! Woo hoo!

We just called the NICU to check in on her and they told us that she’s been moved again. “It’s a little advancement,” the nurse told me. So again, our daughter, rising though the ranks with ease!

Aunt Katie went home today. : ( But Mim is coming tomorrow! : )

Keep the prayers coming!
