Quick update

Yes, I have more pictures. I will post them later. Just wanted to let you know about Cleo's progress.

She is Now 2 lbs, and 6 oz. Most of the previous weight was fluid retention from the Medicine she took for PDA,  She is 14. 5 inches long. She is tolerating 17 ml of milk every 3 hours, and 24  extra calories added to make her the chubby little girl she needs to be. 

Her breathing over the last 3 days has gone from worriesome to good. She was on 54% Oxygen to 27%.  That  means she she was being supplemented with 54% of the Oxygen she needed and now is needing less to help her breath. Her chest is clearing on a new medication (diuretics) this is clearing her lungs. 

Cleo is no longer needing morphine which actually slowed her breathing. He pick line has been removed and all medication is now being given to her orally. All of these things add up, they may seem little. But they are things that Preemies (small ones) encounter and need to overcome. The nurses have said she is doing very well.

I will be posting pics soon of the visit my kids may not forget, and some other things that have happened regarding this little bug. Thank you for your prayers and know that I am grateful for your love in more ways then you will know.
