Two Months Old

Happy two months to our Curly Q. Part of me can't believe it has already been two months, the other part of me feels like she's been in the NICU forever. She is doing really well, so much better than before. She's recovering from her staph infection. She'll still be on IV antibiotics for another week or so. She's acting more like herself, so she must be feeling better. She was able to come off the ventilator on Thursday. She is on a high flow nasal cannula to help her with some oxygen. The Docs are slowly weaning her from oxygen, let's cross our fingers that she can do it successfully! She is still receiving her feedings from a special feeding tube that empties into her intestines instead of her stomach. This allows her to heal from some of the damage done from her acid reflux. The Docs want to keep her on this tube for another week. She's growing like a weed. She now weighs 6 lbs 13 oz. It's amazing how big 6 pounds looks when she started out only 3 pounds.

Curly Q loves her pacifier. You can see in the picture that she is even holding her pacifier in all by herself. Hopefully all the practice she gets from sucking on her pacifier will make her a champion eater when the time comes! Also, this adorable outfit that she is wearing is a Newborn size. It fits, but it's a little big.
