Stuff still going pretty well with KelliAnne...

The doctor just called us as we were headed out the door to go back to the hospital and gave us the morning update.  KelliAnne has gained another 20 grams, which puts her at 110 grams gained in the last 5 days. That is really good.  She is now up to 2 lb 6 oz.  She has tolerated room air (21% O2) coming through the canula at the lowest level possible, and they increased her caffeine (keeps her from deep deep sleep where she will forget to breathe), and her brady's decreased to only 14 over the last 24 hours.  Seems high to me when we are talking about the number of times your heart rate dips dangerously low, however, they said if she was not having them at this gestational age, that would be really weird.

If the doctors are encouraged, we will be as well.

In the next 24 to 48 hours they will be testing KelliAnne off of the canula altogether and just let her breathe regular room air like you and I without assistance.
