Mattigan is now......drumroll please...... over 3 lbs!
It's too early to do math so no weight conversions right now but she's about 3# 1oz. She went up 42 grams yesterday. Yippy skippy!
She was a little tight sounding yesterday and her heart rate is still a little fast so we made the decision to put her on high flow oxygen again because it is warm moist air. She's sounding better with that and after a nurse got her nose cleaned out. It might also be a bit of reflux making her congested so we have her bed tipped up a bit and I'll hold her during the next round so she'll be upright anyhow. Her heart rate we'll keep any eye on but it might be that the low oxygen was making her work a little harder (which can make her burn calories which means less weight gain). No As or Bs.
She might be moved back upstairs to the 5th floor because they don't usually keep babies in the 4th floor nursery while they are on high flow oxygen. But they're waiting on that since she's healthy otherwise. Mama and Daddy hope she'll stay downstairs because there is more room for us while visiting. But of course, whatever is best for Matti.
