Lucy's NICU Journey: No News is Good News

The past couple of days have been quiet again. There is really not a lot to report other than Lucy has been tolerating her food really well and resting. I don't see how that much milk fits in her tummy every 3 hours, but when they check her out it is all gone. Hopefully because of this she can get her PICC line out pretty soon. She has not had many bradycardia episodes and when she does they seem to find a reason (her air mask is not on tight, feeding tube slipping out of tummy, breathing nasal prongs not in at all, etc. Every now and then she will have a "real" one but she pulls herself out of it without stimulation very quickly every time, which is a good thing.

She is now above her birth weight. She had dropped to 1lb 13.5oz after birth and now weighs 2lb 4oz.

We've been trying to get into a routine at home. Mostly I just sit around and rest still, but hopefully we will figure out a good system soon. It's been nice spending time with Mason for sure, but I also feel torn because I want to see Lucy as much as possible. The nurses assure me that she is loved and cared for and for me to not worry about her. I am trying! ;)

Prayer Requests:
-Heart echo to show no hole today
-Brain scan/brain bleed to be clear or at least getting smaller
-Continued toleration of her food and lots of rest
-For No bradycardia episodes
-Her eye is matting up, so they started eye drops. Hoping it is not an infection...probably just a blocked tear duct, but still pray will get better.
-For our new routine
-For the amazing doctors and nurses that take care for our little girl

And now, for some pictures. Hopefully it's not picture overload! :)

Lucy's pouty mad face. She is not a huge fan of being disturbed every 3 hours. In this photo notice the orange line is out of her mouth. She is now becoming a pro at pulling all of her lines out. Silly girl.
