Today was Elizabeth's last day on DEX. She will continue to get another kind of medication which is inhaled to help her transition. Hopefully the medications will work as expected and she will not require CPAP again. She is still on the "Low Flow".
Yesterday Elizabeth had another blood transfusion because she was very pale and her pulse was dropping at times. Now she is pink again.
Today she weighted 915 grams (over 2 lbs) and is 33.5 centimeters (13.2 inches) long.
She is tolerating her feeds, which are fortified with extra calories and vitamins to help with the weight gain.
Elizabeth got her first bath in the "big girl" tub and she loved it, but it tired her out.
Her favourite toy is the soother. She works very hard at keeping it in, but when it falls out her backup plan is to scream until the big people put it back in.

Hey Guys

We are so happy to see that Elizabeth is doing so much better. We check everyday hoping for some good news. I am happy to hear she is gaining weight and it sounds like she already has her own personality.

Hang in there
