Miranda resting. She has C-PAP on.
Miranda today 02/21/09- without C-PAP on, she just has her OG tube in her mouth.Sorry, that the blog has not been updated in a few weeks. I am Miranda's aunt I started the blog and was able to keep the blog up for a while and then I got busy this last couple weeks. I want you to know that Miranda is doing great. Miranda is now 7weeks old and 29weeks gestational. I got to see her today(02/21/2009) she has gotten so big and Audrey got to put her in a dress today. The dress is actually a baby doll dress that came with Miranda's cousins Easter dress. She is so cute in the dress!! Miranda's skin color looks better and she is starting to chunk up a little. She has little rolls on her thighs now.
This month Miranda has been growing, healing and gaining weight. Miranda now weighs 2lbs 9oz(02/21/2009). Miranda has been around 2lbs for a while and this week she has gained 7oz. Miranda is now taking 22ml of breast milk every 3hours. The breast milk is fortified(nutrients and calories). Miranda requires more calories than a normal baby at this time. Miranda receives her feeds via OG(tube in her mouth). Her bowels are not leaking as much. Miranda still has the pin rose drain in and they are talking about taking it out later this month. Miranda may need surgery on her intestines but the doctor today said Miranda's drainage was so minimal they are hoping she may heal on her own and not need surgery. This week February 15-21 Miranda went from the vent to C-PAP to nasal cannula and now today at noon back to C-PAP. C-PAP is a continuous positive airway pressure. Miranda's chest x-rays are starting to look a little hazy so that is why she had to go back to C-PAP.
Miranda had two blood transfusions this week. So now she has had a total of 14 blood transfusions.
This week Audrey got to start holding Miranda like a normal baby and wrap her in a blanket. Audrey and Michael real enjoy getting to hold their daughter everyday. Especially now that they can see her face when they are holding her.
Overall two Doctors have said her recovery is miraculous. The Lord is answering our prayers. Please continue to Pray for Miranda. Thanks!!
There will be a Benefit for Miranda on February 28, 2009 at the A.V. Spillman Building in Jamesport, MO. They will start eating at 12:00p.m. and an auction at 2:00 p.m.
