An uneventful Sunday for Abigail

Just spoke to Ryan and Kelly this evening on their way home from the hospital.

Little Abby had an uneventful day today--yeah! Doctors are still focused on controlling her infection. Once under control, Abby will get either a new PICC line or she may get a broviac catheter (direct access to a central vein). Fortunately, Abby got a much-deserved break from poking today.

Abby's respiratory status is good. She's on all the lowest settings of the CPAP, and in fact, if it weren't for her infection, she'd probably be on a simple nasal cannula (short tubes in nostrils).

Abby is getting a little more mommas milk now--she's up to 2 cc's every 3 hours. She's tolerating this well, and Doctors are anxious to give her more of the good stuff.

Abby was moved from her plush private room in the NICU to a larger room with other babies to keep company with. This is a good sign that she's doing well enough to be moved.

Both Kelly and Ryan were able to hold Abby today, and they both enjoyed it of course. Kelly commented that she loves to just stare at Abby and watch her little expressions. Sounds too cute.

Abby will be one month old tomorrow, so we join Ryan in Kelly in celebrating! Happy birthday little Abby! We thank Heavenly Father for answers to so many unending prayers. We continue to pray for her well-being, and for comfort and strength to her parents, and also to family and friends.
