HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVELYN!!! Evelyn is one month old today.
Evelyn is growing and growing. Tonight she weighed... drumroll please... 1,790 grams or 3 lbs 15 oz. Wow! She is measuring just over the 50th percentile for her age, which is perfectly average. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Her breathing spells are becoming less frequent, so her oxygen flow has now been reduced to 0.5 liters/minute. Depending on how she handles the decrease in flow, they will keep trying to wean her off the nasal cannula over the next few days. She remains on 21% oxygen (room air).
Because she is growing and gaining so much, they have increased her feeds to 35 cc's/feeding. That's just over one ounce per feeding! They continue to deliver her feedings over a 2 hour time period and will likely try to start her on the bottle 2 weeks from now. We did receive the donor breastmilk last Wednesday, so she is now on half breastmilk, half formula.
