Sunday's Update

Sofia still has her PDA and will get a dose of ibuprofen today and tomorrow. She also received a transfusion so we were unable to kangaroo with her while she was getting blood. Mommy did hold her tiny outstretched hand.

Daddy did kangaroo with Daniel. Daniel got 2 doses of albuterol to help open up his lungs. He had been having a lot of desats and it seemed to help. They are reluctant to give him diuretics to help with the fluid in his lungs because his sodium is a bit low. He is getting sodium orally every 6 hours.

Mommy is also trying to hold off what looks like early mastitis through hot compresses and frequent pumping. Daniel is still doing well with Mom's milk but Sofia's feedings are on hold until her PDA is resolved.

I just got over Mastitis. It's not fun. Lots of hot compresses and lots of massaging and pumping. If its red and hot at all, get some antibiotics in you! They don't affect your milk. Please let me know if there is anything I can bring you or do for you!
