On the plus side, I gained 2.5 ounces at yesterdays weigh-in! But I had a couple of "spells" where I forgot to breath on my own. I don't mean to scare everybody that way, it's just hard work to remember to keep on breathing like that when you're as little and young as me. :-( I hate doing it cuz it sets off all kinds of alarms too, and they're much too loud for my little ears! Since it seemed to everybody, including me, that I was just too tired to keep on breathing for myself, my doctors decided to put me back on a ventilator. Not that same shakey-shakey one, but one that is nice and quiet and breaths nice for me. I don't need much oxygen mind you - but the help really gave me a break and I rested really good for the evening and through the night.
Today we find that I have gained yet another 1/2 ounce and now I weigh a big 2 lbs 7 ozs. Mummy & Daddy were really happy about that. I'm still resting well and using the ventilator but I'm not fussed about it cuz I was really happy to have the help. My doctors say that I am using less oxygen and doing a good deal of the breathing myself, but we thing that it may be good to stay on the ventilator for a little bit. I got to start back with having milk today too which I like!!
That's all for today. I'll check back with you in a few days.
