Megan 984g 2LB 3OZ. Still at 16mls and 24 cals. Megan has been diagnosed with BPD Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia or chronic lung disease. It basically means abnormal development of lung tissue. She is still on C-Pap all the time. While we were at the hospital today she had the worst "spell" we have seen. Her heart and breathing rate were fairly normal but her O2 saturation dropped really low for over 1/2 an hour. They did an x-ray right then and found her tummy distended and said it was probably not allowing her lungs to open all the way. They did an enema to help her clear her bowels and hopefully allow better lung function. They are so little and for me it's crazy to think a bowel issue can affect the lungs. This was a very hard day.
Olivia 1303g 2LB 14 OZ. Olivia is up to 14mls and they moved her increases to every six hours.
The wonderful nurses in the NICU took pictures and made footprints of each of my girls and put them in a frame with a Mother's day poem. They are beautiful. Thank you !!!!!
