Went to see Lex today. She had pulled out her oxygen tubes from her nose again and her oxygen levels were still between 88-94. She is doing great!!! She gained some weight today as well. She weighs 735 grams, wow huh? The nurses are increasing the amount she eats as well. It was 1 cc of breast milk every 3 hours. Now it is 4 cc and they will increase another 1 cc every 12 hours. I don;t know how much they will increase it to. They will increase cc to what Lexey can tolerate. She also pooped today! That has been a concern for awhile. While Brian was holding her tonight, her oxygen dropped and the nurses put her back in the bed and upped her percentage of oxygen. They were handling her and fiddling with her and she was crying. Kim said she jus wanted to hold her her and try to calm her down, but was not able to and that is going to be a struggle for awhile still. It amazes me that she will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and has been through so much already. She still has a long way to go, but she is an inspiration of strength and overcoming the odds. We love our little Lexey peanut!
