12-23

Today has been good. Caroline is up to 30cc on her feedings and mom is making it all and then some. They did a sonogram of her head (normal procedure for premie's) and found nothing bad. The plastic surgeon came to look at her foot again, he said it is healing well and that it may look bad from the outside but it will heal from the inside out. He does want to look at her 2 weeks after she get discharged to see if it heals well or if she needs scar therapy. They are continually having to reduce the temperature on her bed which is a good sign she is regulating her own temp, and may need to be moved to a crib. The nurse today said she could not hear the heart murmer anymore. I think I forgot to post that they found a heart murmer. They say murmurs are normal in a lot a babies especially premature babies and they usually close up on their own, they are a valve that is open when the baby is in the womb and closes after birth sometimes it takes a little bit of time to close up. We are hoping that she takes the reduction of air flow on her canula better this time so she can lose it altogether this time. Also they will probably take her IV out in the next day or two.
Sorry no new pictures, but when I was going to have the nurse take them they baby across the room started having problems and their were about six doctors in the room and a lot of commotion, all the nurses were busy. Tomorrow I promise there will be pictures of her being held and fed!
