8 weeks old

Well this week has been a roller coaster. Hailey's weight has been fluctuating all week she is currently 2lbs. 12oz. The doctors put her back onto CPAP today. She has been experiencing pulmonary hypertension due to the high oxygen requirement that she needed on high flow. The CPAP has helped her improve since they started her on the machine this morning. Although her oxygen requirement has dropped she is not a happy camper, she has been fussy all day and she has not been able to sleep. I hope that her night primary nurse Laura helps her relax so she can get some rest. It has been very hard to just try to calm her down knowing the fact you can't help or change the situation. We just keep telling our selves that this is suppose to help her lungs and it won't be for long. After a few days of her being on CPAP the doctors will address their next move.
