the yellow hat has been found

Today was better than the last couple of days. Caley is still having A-B episodes periodically, but fewer than she had been having. Dr. Parker thinks the increased dose of caffeine has made a significant difference, and that nothing else needs to be done at this point -- she just needs to grow. He also thinks it is unlikely that Caley will need to receive any more blood, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Caley was able to begin receiving milk again this afternoon too, as the excess air in her stomach and bowel had dissipated. She's now on 1 ml (1/5 of a teaspoon, we're told) every 2 hours. She was definitely digesting after the first feed, so we hope she continues to do well with that.

And most importantly, Marie finally got to hold Caley again today. It had been since Monday night -- way too long. Here's a picture of Caley from today.

P.S. The yellow hat was given to Caley when she was born at Lutheran Hospital. It turned up in one of the drawers in her room today.
