So I got to hold Riley during her 8pm 'feeding'. They have to pull the contents of the stomach when they are doing tube feeding and Riley had digested all of her 5pm feeding. So that is more good news. Her and I just chilled out and stared at each other - she can be so intense when she is looking at you. Every nurse has also complimented her temperment as she has been poked and proded extensively, but she has barely said a peep about it. Her diaper was heavy with pee this time as they started her Lasix diuretic at 6pm - so this is already helping her get rid of some of this excess fluid around her lungs. Also her 8pm feeding had 10cc (out of 40cc) from mom - WAY TO PRODUCE MAMA!!!!!
I will probably be leaving the NICU around 10pm to go home, so unless something good or bad happens from here in the next hours no more updates till the morning.
