[ Original Post ]

No picture site yet.It is all I can do to keep up with her right now.Today she isn't feeling well,they have been doing blood work again to see if she has an infection...Her temperature dropped so bad last night it took 3 heating pads and 2 hours to warm her back up.She is also having breathing issues not typical preemie apnea,but where the entire monitor starts screaming and goes completly flat and she has to be stimulated to get her breathing.She is on caffeine twice a day and is now getting glycerine suppositories to try to get her to poop....It is so hard.Sometimes I just want to sit down and cry.Today is one of those days... ↓

I am so sorry. I can't even imagine what you are going through. How old is she now? Is she gaining? ↑

She is 11 days old now.Last night she weighed 2 lb 15 oz(2 lb 12 oz at birth) but most of it looks like fluid from the surgery and all the meds she is getting.The nurse put a preemie outfit on her last night and she literally swam in it! lol she pulled her arms inside and got cozy like it was a sleeping bag.lol =) ↑

Today is a better day.Daisy is looking good....except she looks like her dad...that kinda sucks.lol she is digesting her feedings every three hours and they plan to increase the amount today.She has only been getting 3cc per feeding.less than a tsp.!She is really active and keeps yanking the oxygen out of her nose.Her favorite time of day is when I hold her inside my shirt skin to skin.She starts screaming whenever it is time to go back to bed,it makes me feel bad cause I just wanna sit and hold her all the time like a mum is supposed to be able to do.She is back at her birth weight finally.well,this is the story of today... =) ↑

Yeah Nicolaa it is very stressful.Things can change so quickly in a preemie.But we are only trying to look up and pray for the best every hour.Thanks for your thoughts.How are you feeling? ↑

Im doing okay yes. Suppose I should tell you how Paul and I are....well we're back together...and back to normal really. We find out the sex on Monday and then we're off to Majorca with my mum, bro, sis and my kids on Tuesday and the kids turn 2 while we're away!! I was a premmie baby myself....not as early as lil Daisy...but think....she'l make it...and she'll always be a credit to you, make you proud. Your little fighter ↑
