…where Liv cruises on 5-liter high flow

We are at the five day mark for high flow. Livy is doing well. She has been stable sitting in the low 50s to mid 40s for her oxygen. Ideally we would of course like her oxygen support to be lower, but whatever she needs, she gets of course. In the next few days they may try and see if she can go down to 4-liters.

Over the last couple of days Olivia’s weight gain has slowed, which is good. Last night she gained 10 grams and tonight she gained 10 grams. Hopefully on Sunday when they measure her length she will have made gains that way. Her feeding tube did get moved from her mouth to her nose, which I think she is much happier about. She was always trying to get it out of her mouth and now she probably doesn’t even realize it is there. She is also starting to learn to keep her pacifier in her mouth without someone having to hold it! She’s such a big girl!

Not much else has changed. We are just loving on our girl and cheering her on so she can come home.

Lil’ Liv’s Numbers:

  • Age: 107 days
  • Gestation: 40 weeks + 6 days
  • Weight: 7lbs and 3.7oz

Until next time…
