Well, as you can see Gabby has upped her "spa treatment" at Children's Hospital. In addition to the facial she's getting from the oxygen hood, she's also now added a tanning treatment. She's under the billy lights, her billyrubin levels were 10.6, just a little above the 10.5 where they turn the lights on. Hence her very fashionable glasses and the blue glow. She is still holding her own. Here's where things stand:
- she's currently under a hood at around 30% oxygenation, so they've been able to reduce it another 5% since last post
- she's currently under a hood at around 30% oxygenation, so they've been able to reduce it another 5% since last post
- she still has some retraction when she breathes, and she had one slight apnea episode, where she held her breath for a little bit, but she started breathing again
- they've taken out the line in her throat, and put one in her nose. With that, they've been able to start providing her the milk I've been pumping, which is a huge developmental step for her.
While we were there, they drew new blood oxygen levels, which were not as high as the past had been. They went back down to 68%. They did not, however, increase the oxygen in the hood, they just kept it constant and will check back at 6pm.
We'll write more when we know.
