Wednesday

Delaney had a bumpier day today. She seems to have an elevated heart and respiratory rate, which the NICU staff is speculating is due in part to her sodium chloride supplement. Starting today, they decided to discontinue the supplement, which hopefully will allow her to breathe a little easier tonight. Seems that there are always pros and cons that go along with medicine in the NICU. The good news is that it was bath day-which is still one of the highlights of our week.

It was another beautiful day in GJ (that's because it's Jennifer's birthday week)... So Meredith took advatage of the sunny afternoon and went for a scooter adventure with her mom. Tonight Delaney weighed in at 3 lbs 4.9 oz. We'll have to watch for the rest of the week though because some of her weight gain may be due to water retention that is related to the sodium supplement.
