Another great day. Sarah stepped up her feedings to 24 mL and the doctors removed her pcvc line (long term IV that ran through her body). That means no more IV fluids, just milk. They did remove her nasal cannula (oxygen thing sitting I. Her nostrils) but she didn't like that, so they put it back in place. A very small sidestep (not even considered a step back). They'll try to remove the cannula again in a few days and see how her breathing is without it.
On a very high note, I (Paul) was able to hold Sarah yesterday for the first time. It's crazy how much of a tough guy I try to act like, but once my newborn daughter was asleep on my chest for the first time ever...no such thing as tough guys anymore. I was crying like Rudy was on tv.
Today, again, was a good day.
I am crying just reading your comments. She is so precious---and you have always had a sensitive side--and I love that.
