14 weeks old - Corrected age 0

Above are pictures of Hailey in her bouncer seat, he foot size as of Valentines Day, her crib in her room and her bassinet in our room.

Hailey is progressing maybe not at fast as we like but she is coming along. The doctors have lowered her oxygen she is now on 2 liters and 35%. They also have raised the amount of fluid for her feedings she eats 1.5 oz every 3 hours. She is still struggling with bottle feeding so we will see how she does though out the next couple weeks. We still don't have an estimation date for her homecoming but Anthony and I are hoping she will come home around St. Patty's Day. She is defiantly growing Hailey is 5lbs 8oz.

13 weeks

Well on with the same old same old. Hailey is still on high flow O2, but she is on about 35% which is good. They are still trying to get her to bottle feed. She wants to sometimes and other times wants nothing to do with it. We are wanting her to come home more and more everyday, but we both want her to be healthy. She weighs 4 lbs and 15oz.

12 weeks old

Sorry everyone for the late post. I was working on a paper for my Security and loss prevention management class.

Hailey is now 12 weeks old or 38 weeks gestation corrected age. She has finished her round of steroids so we are waiting to see what the results will be. Hailey weighs 4lbs 10 oz. she has maintained her weight through this weekend. She did loose a bit of water weight after the round of steroids which is good because she was very swollen. Currently she is on 48% oxygen at 3.5 liters. She is beginning to get her days and nights in check she is definitely more awake through out the day. Anthony and I have been very happy because we like to interact with her and look into her beautiful eyes. We still don't have a homecoming date but it has been giving us a chance to get her room finished and organized which I am pretty much done. Anthony and I just have one more trip to Lowes hopefully for new child safe blinds and wooden letters for her name. Anthony and I will be sitting down with the doctor later this week to discuss the next moves to get Hailey's lungs well enough to come home.

11 weeks old

The last few days have been a waiting game. Last Wednesday the doctors decided to go ahead with a 10 day steroid treatment. By Friday her oxygen requirement was low enough for her to come off CPAP and go onto high flow. As they have been tapering off the steroids her oxygen requirement has been creeping back up which is not a good sign. She is still growing like a champ her current weight is 4 lbs. 6 oz. Hailey is starting to smile and cry, she doesn't cry very often but when she does its a quiet cry were hoping it stays that way. Hailey recognizes our voices when we walk into her room and she will follow us as we move around her. She is still currently on a feeding tube hopefully with her being on high flow we will be able to start giving her a bottle. We are praying for her lungs to improve enough for her to come home.
