7 weeks - Day 49

Miss Bella was 7 weeks old at 7 pm! I am at the hospital tonight with her to celebrate however she is taking me on an NICU roller coaster ride instead. After her last feeding and assessment they have not been able to get her sats out of the 60s and 70s, that has been over 2 hours ago. She is on 100 percent oxygen. Her blood gas is good though, but the Dr went up on her vent settings but haven't seen any change yet. He says they will try the other ventilator if she doesn't progress.

The infection in her tube is not going to be treated. They say that it has colonized and hoepfully it will not make her sick. Her blood work does not show signs of the infection spreading so we pray that it stays that way.

This little girl likes to keep us on our toes...tonight is a reminder of a long road ahead and also that we would not make it a day without prayer and constant communication with God. Once again we are going to turn it over to him and keep on praying..

Much love to all
Telisha

  1. These days are the hardest! Two years ahead of you, I can look back and say I barely remember those days, though. God has a tendency of helping us remember the good and forget the bad. Hang in there, the ride is bumpy and long, but it does get better... And it's worth it! God bless Little Bella, and you guys too!
