Caley got gypped. As we reported last night, she was 1074 grams. Her weight was taken on a stand-alone scale, as you saw. Today Caley got a new isolette/condo/house in her room. This one has a functioning built-in scale, unlike the last one (which prompted the stand-alone scale). And this one says she only weighs 980 grams! So for now, her official weight is back under 1 kilogram.
Caley also got a bath today. Her "spitting up" has been tentatively labeled reflux, and it was making her a little ripe. We're going to wait and see if the reflux improves before doing anything else -- it doesn't seem to be painful for her, just annoying. In the meantime, she's up to 5.5 ml per hour of Elecare, fortified to make it 24 calories per ml as of this evening. Aside from the reflux, she seems to be doing well with her food right now.
And we also saw some progress on the breathing front. Caley's oxygen flow was reduced from 2 liters to 1 liter today, and she's tolerating it just fine.
Caley continues to have more regular periods of alertness where she looks around (and looks at us, we think!) and checks out her surroundings. We love spending time with her and seeing her personality developing!
