Stevie Stats:
Weight - 4lbs 15.8oz (almost 5lbs! only .2 oz to go!)
Stevie had a great day. She did a good job with her bottle feed at 8am this morning. I did a better job burping her today (she didn't throw up on me or the dr today). They will do her 2nd bottle feed at 8pm tonight.
Before her 8am feed she pulled her feeding tube out of her nose. She grabs her nasal tube and feeding tubes like it's a handlebar. Let me tell you - when the nurse put her feeding tube back in Stevie was NOT a happy camper. She was so upset, which made me upset, but we both got over it as quick as it started. The above picture shows how much Stevie likes to touch her face, and is evidence that she likes to grab her nasal tube.
The dr also ordered her oxygen flow setting to be decreased today, and he increased her feeds to 42ml (up from 40ml). Her Apnea spells (which cause the desats) - seemed to be better today - please keep praying she'll grow out of these soon. We have faith in good time she will.

i wouldn't like a tube in my nose either! Thanks to God that she is making such good progress -- she will be filling up all those preemie clothes before we know it -- keep up the good work Stevie, we want you at home. love, Grammy
I'm so proud of her! ....she's doing such an amazing job! ...Much love, Amanda Rome
OK, I'm looking at today's picture and I think she looks like Steve - lucky little girl!!! So glad she is continuing to improve. \
Love, Jeanie
She is doing great! Braxton pulled his tube out, too...and I know about those annoying oxygen/desat monitors! They will drive you crazy if you let them. I will pray for her strength, growth and development. She will be home in God's timing - I know it's hard. Hang in there :)
