PDA update & other Presley info




Most importantly... HER PDA CLOSED!!!!!!!! One of the best updates I can give right now!! I bawled my eyes out when they told me, I was just so overcome with gratitude that I just couldn't help but break down because I was SO happy it closed. I know I say this ALL the time, but it's only because I really believe it... I KNOW all the prayers count. I know each and every single one means something, and it helps, and Aaron & I are just so grateful for the continuous prayers, love, & support that our amazing friends and family, & complete strangers have shown Presley. They mean so much to us, and we appreciate every single one of you.



She now weighs 3 lbs!!! Woooo go Presley! It must be all that yummy breastmilk I've been so diligently pumping for her every 2 hrs :) She is up to 9mls every 3 hrs and at her next feed at 5pm tonight she will go up to 10.5! She is doing awesome with her feeds & is actually pretty demanding about getting them RIGHT when feed time is, and if it's not she sure let's you know your late with her food :)

Presley is at 2 liters and 21% they are thinking about lowering it down to 1.5 liters tomorrow or the day after To challenge her and see if she can handle it.

She is still having some Brady episodes, but she is so quick to recover from them that they don't have to help her with them & that right now they are saying it's completely normal for her gestational age. She is also on the caffeine to help with these apnea and Brady episodes.

Since her umbilical lines are out, this means she can sleep on her tummy, and she LOVES it! She actually doesn't Brady when she's on her tummy & she doesn't get residuals when laying on her tummy either. Her dad is a big tummy sleeper so she must get it from him :)

I got to do kangaroo care with my tiny little Roo for the 2nd time at her 2pm feed & it was awesome!! It was my 3rd Time ever holding her and I got to hold her for an hour and 20 mins... Best hour ever! Aaron is going to do kangaroo care with her at her 5 pm feed and hold her for the second time, so today has been pretty awesome!

Her Neo said today that Presley is doing so great & doesn't have any major issues, which after the PDA scare, that is SOOo nice to hear!
