Evelyn gained more weight, and as of tonight is up to 1005 grams (2 lbs 3 oz). She's on her way back to her birth weight! Apparently she had kind of a rough night last night regarding her breathing episodes, but has had a much better day today. I got to visit with her for 5 hours today and actually hold her for 2 of those hours. It was so nice to be able to hold her and feel her moving around. She remains on the CPAP, but they are now thinking some of her apnea spells could be related to her eating and perhaps reflux, so they are giving her food over a longer period of time, and so far it seems to be helping.
I didn't get a good picture of Evelyn today, so here is one from a couple days ago when she got her bath. They took off her CPAP so we could actually see her face! That's her feeding tube taped to her chin and going into her mouth...
