Maybe found a way to stop some....

I found out something today and I only need to have a day or more on my experiment to see if what I observed today holds true.

I did a little something today while feeding and holding that allowed no spit up and got us to breathe 21% oxygen (what you are breathing right now) for one hour and 20 minutes. (My arms were screaming at me, she is only 3 pounds but hold 3 pounds out in front of you upright for that long!)

Does not mean anything per se, however, we held her upright and she could re-swallow the spit and also she had great saturations of oxygen. GREAT.....like air.

So we propped her up a little further in the bed and it has helped so far.

I now can't wait until she can get out of the isolette and we can prop her up even further. I think she will be fine, just hope she can make it for another pound! At four pounds we should come out of the isolette.

We will see. We hope to gain some weight today. Yep, that would be great.

Also, the foundation is real close to ready.....please keep an eye out, I should be announcing something next week.
