Last week Delaney had her second doctor's appointment since we've been back in Gunnison. She weighed 7 lbs 10.5 oz and we weaned her oxygen down to 1/16 of a liter. She continues to do a really good job, but our main issue continues to be her blood pressure. Brandon had a long talk with the cardiologist in Grand Junction who seemed to think that we should keep an eye on it and focus on the trend over time. If her pressure starts increasing we should look deeper into it, but otherwise try not to get too worried. Apparently blood pressure medications for babies have some significant down sides and they are not prescribed unless absolutely necessary.
We recently learned that family of family is having some issues with their pregnancy that likely will entail a stay in a NICU and emergency surgery. We would like to send them our good thoughts, and can say with some experience that modern day medicine is quite miraculous. It's easy for others to say, but try and hang in there.
