A Weight Off My Mind

Well Anna was chatting to one of the docs this morning who doesn't seem to think that 40g over 2 days was too much at all. Young Amelia is changing today from continuous feeds of 180ml per day to 2-hourly feeds of 14ml and this will gradually increase if she can tolerate it to culminate at 4-hourly feeds of as much as she can take.

One other area of concern (they giveth and take away you know) is the amount of Oxygen Amelia is requiring. Basically we breathe air which contains about 21% Oxygen. At the moment Amy is requiring more than that, up to 30% at times and this is not good. However, same Doc was of the opinion that when premature babies come off assisted breathing they can do very well for a time but then slip back for a prolonged 'healing' period. I read from this that there's no immediate cause for concern but we'll all keep our eyes peeled and fingers crossed.
