Hannah is having a hard day

Hannah didn't have such a good day today. She is having a hard time breathing. Since she is working so hard they have kept her on the CPAP machine and have increased the support that they are giving her with that. She is needing 40-50 % oxygen. She has been having a LOT of apnea and bradys. (She stops breathing, her heart rate drops as do her oxygen sats and she then needs to have her back rubbed to remind her to breath). They started her on caffeine to help her remember to breathe more. Since she is breathing 70-100 times a minute she is not being fed right now. When she isn't struggling so much then she will be allowed to eat. Her bili is high so she is under bili lights as well. Hannah loves to suck on her binki and hold our fingers. She cries when messed with. What a fiesty little girl!! We love holding her but can only do so twice a day since she is too fragile to hold more often.

I was able to come home from the hospital today. I am so glad to be able to sleep in my bed tonight. I have only been home for three days this whole month and really miss Bekah and Chris and my home. However, it was much harder to leave my little baby than I was expecting. I was fine until I was in the elevator then I lost it for a few minutes. There is some thing that is so not right when you leave without your baby. God is good and He will bring her home when she is ready. Can't wait.
