so josie's most recent details...
a few days ago she had her first blood transfusion, which kind of freaked me out, but they assured us it was fairly routine. she's been off & on the cpap and the nasal cannula (as seen in this picture). they take her off o2 completely for short periods of time so she can build her breathing endurance.
yesterday was her first milk feeding in a while. afterwards they decided that they were going to wait longer until her o2 stats (or is it sats? not sure) was consistent & stable. if they force her to digest food without proper o2 in the blood, digestion could take longer and could lead to an infection.
this wednesday is our first real meeting with her primary doctor (and a social worker). i think we'll have these meetings every few weeks - or more frequently depending on her status. hopefully we'll get a better idea of where they see josie heading in the days & weeks to come.
lastly, here's a picture of what our evenings often look like as we head home from the hospital. clearly, you can tell which kid takes an afternoon nap and which do not.
