All About Faith!!

Joys
Off all IVs
Weighing in at 3lbs 11oz
Off all O2
New isolette that will help her to ween to regular air temperature
Started wearing clothes
Working up to full feeds
Digesting her food well

Concerns
Still working her her breathing. She had a few spells the other day that required more help to regain her breathing
Has a heart murmur that is heard off and on. They are watching it and may do a scan of her heart to check. May need medication to correct.
Developed reflux with the increased feeds
Billi levels are still a little off and may require her to go back to the 'tanning bed.'

Prayer Requests
That her breathing will continue to stabilize each day and the spells decrease
That her heart murmur would be corrected without any medication or intervention
That she would tolerate the increased feedings with the added formula/extra calories. She really needs the extra calories, but that was what upset her stomach last time.

Faith is showing more and more personality. She seems to be mellow like Daddy and not respond well with too many changes and stresses like Mommy. Wade and I are also really enjoying holding times with her and her more alert wake times! Oh, and she has developed a reputation of the projectile pooper! And, yes, I have witnessed it!
