Sorry for the delayed update -- it's been more than a little hectic being back in the NICU, and not nearly as comfortable without our private room or primary nurses. Caley has mostly been fine since we got here, though she did have a couple of bradycardic events again, which earned us some more time in the hospital.
The only thing "wrong" with Caley since we've been here is that she tested positive for rhinovirus -- the common cold. So she has a little bit of a cold, but really isn't showing any symptoms. Hard to know if that played a part in Thursday's event or not. What we do think caused it was some perfect storm of eating too much, straining to poop, and refluxing all at the same time, and then not being able to manage the results. (Thank goodness that Daddy, her hero, was there to help her out.) The doctors and nurses have helped us work out some ways to manage all of those relatively common problems a little better, and hopefully nothing like this will ever happen again.
So we're still in the NICU, but nothing significant is going on. Caley doesn't have any bruising or soreness from receiving CPR, and we've got a plan for avoiding it ever again. Hope to be back home soon!
