Nasal prong trials

For the last 3 days, they have had Elizabeth on nasal prongs for 18 hours and then on CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) at night for about 6 hours for a break.

Tonight they are going to try her on nasal prongs all night. I guess we will see how she does.

Her weight is is now 1642g (almost 3lbs 10oz). I tried her on a bottle today, but she seemed too tired to take it (only took 9cc of the 31cc). They rest of her feed was given to her through gavage tube.

Here is a cute picture from Big Sister's visit on Saturday, where Elizabeth's is holding her finger.
