Jason and I had a good weekend at UAMS. Ansley is doing well. She had to be put back on the ventilator last week, she was having to breath a little too hard and was wearing herself out. Again, they say that's typical for preemies that small. In the past week they have gradually decreased her vent settings, they were 60 breaths per minute and she's down to 40. Also, she is breathing more normal and not so much over the ventilator. They are going to try and ween her again this week! She is doing well with her feeds, they have increased them from 2 cc's every 6 hours to 6 cc's every 6 hours. Also, she is doing well gaining weight. I called this morning to check on her and she weighs 2 lbs.! She had to have another blood transfusion on Saturday (#4). Because she is so small, they have to draw her blood a lot and she is unable to produce enough blood to replace it. So, they replace it for her.
Jason had a wonderful first Father's Day! Ansley already has him wrapped around his little finger :) He is SO proud to call her his daughter! I surprised him with a picture of her in a frame for his office that had "Daddy's Girl" written on it! That's the truth, she's definitely a Daddy's girl already (AND a Mommy's girl too of course). We pray daily that she continues to grow and improve!!
