Cpap.......again!

Well today Carly was put back on CPAP.
Well last weekend she was on Bubble CPAP
and this time today she was put on regular
CPAP. Today she only lasted a couple of
hours before having to have the vent put
back in. But bless her little
heart.......she tried! While she was still
on CPAP and having problems with her heart
rate ( tons of brady's and desats) I got
to hold her with my hand supporting her
head and neck and my other hand supporting
her bottom and legs and had her facing me.
It was the first time I was able to hold
her that way and really get to look at her
face. I couldn't help but cry. Not only
because I finally got to hold my baby the
way I've been wanting to but also because
she was so tired and struggling to breath
and you could see it in her face. Thank
GOD they got the vent back in so she could
relax! Maybe next time she'll be ready!
My friend Bre and I went to Target today
to pick up severel things to start
scrapbooking today. There is a class the
1st Friday of every month at the hospital
for mothers in the NICU to do scrapbooking
together. So we start this Friday. I think
we will really enjoy this! I'm so
excited.
Oh Carly also had her 3rd eye exam today
to check for ROP. So I should get the
results in a day or so. But the last 2
exams showed no signs of ROP. I think her
having the eye exam today only 2 hours
before going to CPAP could also be a
reason she didn't last too long off the
vent. (she was ALREADY tired before going
on CPAP!)
Oh yeah and she wieghs 1pound 8ounces (1.5
pounds) today! YAY Carly!
here's pics of her on her CPAP!
and here is her lifting her weights! She's
actually trying to drop it1 I rolled up a
TINY piece of a baby washcloth to put in
her hands because she keeps them clenched
so tight together. As soon as I gave them
to her she started opening her hands! LOL
(oh and she only looks darker in the pic
because of the lighting!)

Oh my goodness, what a sweetheart...she
looks so precious, I hope she's okay, even
though I'm not really sure what 'cpap' is.

You are so strong, and i admire you for

that's what I keep trying to tell her and
she keeps giving me the finger telling me
to wait a minute. ( that's her signature
move....the wait a min fingers!) they call
her E.T because she's always got that one
finger sticking out! She does it with both
hands! It's so funny!
