We couldn't hold Haddie today because she needs a PICC line and the 1 1/2 failed attempt at the bedside tuckered her out. Tomorrow they will try at interventional radiology which is an ultrasound guided placement. This is for her three week course of antibiotics. She has to keep her breathing tube until this is done. But, in awesome news, she has reached her 1500 grams (3 lbs 5oz) which means that if she has 5 days of weight gain and 5 days of no bradys (she is at 4 of no bradys) then she can try air mode which means.......... We get to dress and swaddle her!!! Yay! Keep it up Haddie
So basically things are going okay. Hoping they can get that PICC line in tomorrow without any problems. That would make it so they wouldn't have to prick her again and again over the next 3 week of antibiotics. Once the line is in she shouldn't need the breathing tube any more.
It's amazing to me to see our daughter's "feisty" personality again and again. Every single nurse has commented on it. Haddie throws her arms around wildly sometimes. She will also fight the nurses if they are bugging her. This morning we called and the nurse told us she had Hadassah on her belly with her head facing to the right...since thats where the breathing tube was. She went in and Haddie had picked up her head and turned it all the way to the left! The breathing tube somehow stayed in. She's beautiful...and she's got spunk....that's a good combination.
