Another good day. Jen was able to hold Sarah for the first time. Since she's a preemie, they emphasize skin to skin contact as this is very soothing and relaxing for the baby. Even through it was only for a few short minutes, it was well worth the wait. Sarah loved the time with her mom, she was so comfortable and slept soundly. Jen was glowing with excitement.
A few additional positives on the day were the elimination of the bilirubin lights and the decrease in the flow rate of her supplemental oxygen. There are essentially 4 levels of oxygen flow (4 being the highest, or strongest flow)...she has responded great, so they stepped her down to level 3 today.
