Weaning

So nothing much has changed since Thursday.  Annelise is still on the nasal cannula.  They've weaned the amount down to 3 liters per minute though.  Half of a liter yesterday and half today.  She's such a rock star!

They've discontinued her lasix altogether (diuretic).  They don't feel that she needs it anymore, and her sodium levels are a little low.  They think with discontinuing it, her levels will correct themselves.

She has been having a little reflux.  Poor baby gets herself so worked up and then spits up.  The NP started her on Zantac to help with the reflux. 

Other then that, she's doing well.  I commented to Matt yesterday that right now, Annelise's issues that we're dealing with, are common and stem from her prematurity.  It's a blessing that she's recovered so nicely from the CDH surgery.  Most babies born prematurely AND with a birth defect wouldn't not have made it this far so soon.  We are very blessed!

Here are some pictures of our cutie pie!

Daddy & Annelise both sleeping!

  1. She's so beautiful Danielle. I'm so happy she's doing so well.

    She makes me sigh with contentment when I look at her photos.

    :D

  2. She gets cuter every time I stop in to check on her progress! Sounds like you'll have her home soon! Her nursery is adorable too.
