Cara update

Cara is still doing well on her c-pap. she is still picking at it and pulling it off. when we were in checking on her earlier she decided that she was not getting as much attention as she wanted to be getting so she decided to Brady down to about 30 beats a minute and as soon as we opened the incubator her heart rate went back to normal. the nurse weighted her when we were back and she has lost 2 ounces, down to 1 lb 11 ounces. the doctor put her new pic line in this morning so they would have a iv dedicated to her fluids and one if they needed to give her blood products. the doctors are still pulling off between 5 and 8 cc of fluid off from the reservoir.

Later this morning Cara has a head ultrasound to check on the swelling in her brain. she also has a heart echo to check her pda .

caroline has her momma's skin tone but its hard to tell whos fetures she has. She does let us know that she has an attitude and hates the cpap in her nose. cara loves to listen to mommas heartbeat and look around, but she sleeps best in my lap- she is a daddys girl.
