Chloe does love to kick. Just ask the poor nurse today who had to draw blood from her heel drop-by-drop while Chloe kicked! She is taking every bottle well and gaining weight so we thought she would go home this week. However, she's developed a problem that may be caused by reflux that lowers her oxygen level. There is no definite description of the problem or solution, but she seems to have milk or mucus where it doesn't need to be. Perhaps this is just another problem that comes from having two openings to one area that is used for swallowing, breathing, and sucking. I have faith that the docs and Chloe will figure it out. Maybe tomorrow I'll have a more medical explanation for you.
Meanwhile the sick babies continue to come to the NICU and well babies continue to go home. ACH offers much hope for each of them. We find ourselves blessed with very caring nurses every day and night.
