NICU Day 6



Bella continues to do great! Everything is steadily improving! They are stopping the IV fluids tomorrow (since she is tolerating all her feedings so well), so soon we'll be rid of that darn IV that's been in her hand/arm for a week! Her bili level dropped even more today...hopefully we're in the clear of the lights for good. Her breathing is great and her caffeine treatment is working wonders!

She finally has all that stuff off her face (aside from the G-tube), and she looks so great! :)
Dr. Daddy wanted to make sure the NICU nurses weren't missing anything. :) He said everything sounds good. ;)
Here's a little smile I managed to catch with my phone camera. :)Thanks for all your good wishes and prayers....Bella is a lucky girl to have so many people sending good wishes her way!

SO ADORABLE! Love that UGA hat!

Glad to hear all the progress she is making! Glad her billi levels are getting better. Colton was one step away from the 'tanning bed' stage his first week, but napping by the windows seemed to help him. I'm sure those eye covers are really annoying to Ms. Bella!

Glad you've been able to keep up posting as we are all praying for her and you and love to see how she (and you guys) are doing.
Love,
Brig
