Saturday in the NICU

Caley continues to make small steps forward. Her glucose levels seem to finally be stable, and she continues to do well with her trophic feeds. And... while we were at the hospital today, a little corner of Caley's right eye started to open! Hopefully her eyes will be fully open within the next week.

We spent quite a while at hospital today, while our favorite nurse Kodi was there. She had Marie help do two diaper changes and some of Caley's other care, and had us both hold Caley for quite a while. It was a surprisingly calming way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

The next goal is to get Caley off of the CPAP machine, and using only a nasal cannula for oxygen. This will require her to be able to regulate her breathing a little better, and to be a little more consistent. We're continuing to pray for strong lungs to get her through!
