Taylor is getting a little better. She is under the Photo Therarpy light again because her jaundice numbers are up, but the doctor wasn't too worried about that. Overall, her numbers looked a little better. Doctors have lowered down the settings on the machine. O2 level at 31% dependency. Down from 3 antibiotics to 1 (for precautionary measures). Her tummy looked a little less distended according to BabyMa and her doctor, but I can't tell the difference.
Doctor said she pooped and peed last night. Her sugar level is a little low. May require another pack of blood tomorrow morning. Hemoglobin is "holding."
Yesterday, the head doctor talked to us. She a little more relaxed with us. Telling us that Taylor looked better than when she first came into the NICU. On the X-Ray, her lungs can be seen. It seems like her lungs are functioning a little better. But we are still cautiously optimistic.
p.s. She skin is actually less blueish. The camera is unable to capture the true environment color under the the therapy lighting.
I'm Kim Root's mom. Please know my family and I are keeping Taylor in our thoughts and prayers. She is beautiful. Mommy and Daddy, hang in there and keep singing the beautiful songs to Taylor.
