Day 30- Miranda gained 10grams today. Miranda is now receiving 10ml of breast milk every three hours. Miranda is out growing her ET tube (which is the tube in her mouth that is connected to the ventilator that helps her breath). They are talking about putting her on C-PAP. We will have to wait and see what the doctors decide. Miranda has period that she holds her breath when she does not want somebody to touch her or does not like it when the nurses go to mess with her. They put Miranda on the CPAP and she did not tolerate it very well so then they tried BIPAP for while and she still did not tolerate it very well and her blood gases were not good. So Monday evening they intubated her and placed her back on the vent.
