Making progress!!

This morning miss Violet got her oxygen tube removed. That red mark on her temple is from the sticker that held it on.

And it was STICKY!!

We have lowered the dose from "d12" to "d10". We have also lowered the rate from 17 to 10 ml/hour.

the orange tube in her nose is her feeding tube. She is now up to 1.5 oz and tolerating it well.

Now the only thing left (aside from continuing to lower dose and kick that jaundice) is that I need to be able to pump 1.5 oz AFTER I nurse her. I guess their way of ensuring she is getting enough milk from me when we leave. That is about 45ml and I am pumping about 22ml.

Again another silly protocol but we are so ready to get out of here I don't care what I have to do.

It also didn't help that due to lack of sleep I just felt awful today. I slept all day in between feedings which comes to sleeping in about 2 hour stretches.

I also didn't eat lunch or dinner. Lack of sleep+lack of food=decrease milk supply.

Now that I am feeling like I can tolerate food, I plan on eating and getting some good sleep and GETTING OUTTA HERE!!
