Here are some new pictures to accompany our new version of WordPress. Two pictures of Brady and one shot of Dude taken this morning while Deb was getting ready for work this morning. Hopefully this new Gallery plugin functions similar to the old.
Kelly is probably going to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but sadly Brady is likely to have to stay here for about another six weeks. She wasn’t on oxygen for the first six hours of her life but later yesterday was moved to a nasal cannula and is now on a CPAP but as of tonight we found out as long as she tolerates it will be going back to just the nasal cannula tomorrow. Apparently it’s extremely common for babies born at high altitude to be on some type of oxygen after birth, even at full term. We’re also told to expect ups and downs so while she might not be on oxygen one day, she might be the following. All babies also drop weight after birth and she’s gone from 3lb6oz to 3lb2oz, however, the nursing staff has been given the ok to start giving her breastmilk as she tolerates it. She’ll most likely get the first round tonight or some time in the morning and will be very little at first but will increase gradually. Two days down…
Keep the updates and pictures coming. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys…for the next 6 weeks and always. Brady is just darling. She looks so sweet and peaceful underneath all of that equipment.
Brady is so adorable and looks like she’s getting some good beauty sleep!!! I think she looks like Kelly :). Can’t wait to see more pics and videos in the coming days and weeks. Merry Christmas!
