Entry for December 24, 2005
Caitlin is doing good, she was really fiesty this morning so they had to up her oxigen a little bit and will slowly wean her to a lower level through out the day. She is back on her insulan today she was off for a bit yesterday.She has another head scan on tuesday to check for any brain bleeds and starts a medicine called epogen on monday and will have it 3x a week-mon,wed,fri it is a shot and it is to help stimulate her red blood cells. She is back to 1.5 cc's of milk because the 2.5 cc's was to much for her, she had to skip a feed today though because she had some milk left in her tummie so she didn't digest her last feed from this morning.Diana her 3 day primary nurse found an ornament for Caitlin that had her name on it with perfect spelling which was so sweet because whenever we would look for things with Cailtin's name we always see it spelled a different way. She liked her gift we got her as well,a Angel's calander and 2 angel pens. She was wondering how we knew she liked the Angel's , we just said that Cailtin told us ;0)Today her nurse was kimberly, she was her nurse yesterday also , she is a sweety also. I think that is about it for today, I look at Caitlin and wish so much she could be in my tummie still, I feel so bad when she gets poked at and has to get this and that, I wish she could just be comfoptable in my tummie. We looked at some twins today cuddling in the NICU they were so cute but it did make me sad because it made me think of how much I wish Madilyn could be here with us and how cute it would be to see Cailtin and Madilyn cuddle together and sleep. Well tomorrow we are going to go give Caitlin her gifts after we go to church then go to Aunt Julie's house. We got Caitlin a little dollie,a little bunnie and a couple outfits. She can't wear the outfits for awhile but they are there so when she is ready!!Almost forgot Caitlin is down to 1 lb 3.5 oz. They didn't like when she started gaining to much weight because it ment she had alot of fluid retention so they switched some settings around and now she is good. I can't wait till she starts getting bigger and opens her eyes. I just can't wait till we can take her home!!!
