Emma is doing remarkably well. So much so that, today they will take her of the CPAP and place her on nasal cannula Vapotherm. My research indicates this is a bit more support respiratory-wise than nasal cannula alone. It is hard to be receiving all this information via my thrice daily phone calls, and then piecing it together myself with research on the internet. However, I now have pneumonia, and still cannot go to see her.
Her feedings continue to be increased daily. She is currently receiving more than half her daily requirements of nutrition through formula. The nurses hope to have her begin bottle feedings next week.
I realize how stilted this post is. I am finding it hard to share the details of Emma at this point. It is such a difficult time, as I am always holding my breath, waiting for the phone to ring with news of a set-back. Each day, as she continues to improve, I rejoice with the news. But I find myself increasingly impatient for her to be home.
