Besides getting a fancy new hat today, Sarah was given the order to step down her oxygen flow rate to level 2 today. Her feedings have increased (5 mL on day 2, now 20 mL) and she has responded incredibly. Now that the bilirubin lights are gone, she's sleeping better and doesn't have to wear the special goggles any longer. I changed her diaper for the second time today and was able to help with her feedings (still via her feeding tube, but she's making progress...that's all we want at this point). She even squeaked a little today while Jen was holding her. I'm sure one day we'll roll our eyes and cover our ears when she cries, however today, we both melted and reached for the tissues.
