Day Three

She has had to be under the light a couple of days to avoid jaundice which isn't uncommon even for full term babies. We call it getting her tan on!

She is now just on regular high flow oxygen, which is HUGE! At this time she is not having to use the CPAP and is having very few if any "bradies" which is the slowing of the heart rate.

They had to take out the straight line tube to her stomach which was through her belly button and put in a picc line, which was just all a part of the plan. They can only use the belly button for a few days and then it closes up.

She has a tube in her mouth going to her stomach for feeding and to help release any air she might have built up on her tummy from the oxygen AND she is now getting 1ml of mommy's milk! She has lost a few ounces which is normal so now we just need to pray she starts gaining.

They turned off the light for a bit and took off her mask while they changed her and when Bailey started talking to her she opened her eyes and turned her head to her!

Let's not forget Daddy in all of this! Darrin was such a great supporter of Bailey while she was in labor and now he just sits and talks to Mylah, telling her she is doing good and when she cries he touches her head and tells her "It's OK Baby!" They are both being so strong and I know will be amazing parents.
