She is now eating all her feeds from a bottle and the feeding tube has been removed! The doctors have a concern about her blood oxygen saturation and heart rate going down randomly (this is called a d-sat & brady) while she eats however. This happens at least once a feeding. She is undergoing a sleep study (there is a technical term, neco-gram or something like that) where she is on special monitors for 12 hours and determine a possible cause. We are currently waiting for this to begin. A special team comes in and they are backed up but Hailey is #2 on the list.
She now weighs 6lb 12oz! She is 1 pound above her birth weight! She went through the car seat test and passed! This is where they put her in a car seat for 90 minutes and make sure her vitals are good.
She's very close to coming home. We are just waiting for the green light from the doctors. Hopefully they are able to get to the bottom of her d-sats and bradys during feeding time. We are unsure if this is just something she will grow out of but we do know that it is common for preemies to have these issues.
