November 24, 2009 Another day for our little Lily-bean and more progress. She is now going off of the CPAP machine and onto canula every 3 hours. She is still eating about the same and doing very well with that.
On November 28, 2009 Lily had a blood transfusion because she is a little anemic. The doctors think that will help with her breathing as well. Being on the CPAP and having her blood gases a little off make it harder for her to maintain proper blood levels so it's not uncommon for preemies to be anemic.
November 30 they did another ultrasound on Lily's brain. There was no change which is good. They'll continue to watch it to make sure she is doing well. They will do another one in a month. As long as there is no change and the blood resolves itself and the fluid drains they won't have to put in a shunt to drain the fluid. Then hopefully there won't be any permanent damage from where the fluid had been laying. So far they don't see any signs of problems. Lily is moving very well and her eyes and hearing are good.
Way to go Princess Lily!!! We love you and are very proud of you!
