I want to scream from the rooftops and jump out of my skin. In the last few days Delilah has been doing pretty well with taking all 8 of her feeding’s from a bottle, she is doing real well in the crib holding her own temperature.
Wednesday we found out Delilah’s eyes were looking better, she was in stage 2 but now she is in stage 1! YAY! Also I was told to bring the car seat into the hospital so they can do they car seat test soon. What the car seat test is for those of you who have blessed enough to stay out of the NICU, they will put Delilah in the car seat hooked up to all the monitors still for an hour to make sure she can still breath while in it. The reason for this test is a lot of preemies have a hard tome breathing cause they cant hold their head up very well on their own.
When I went to visit Delilah yesterday evening our nurse informed me that Delilah could come home as early as Monday! She told me not to look surprised when I get told she’s going home lol which I gave her a surprised look and she laughed and said that look there is not allowed hahahaha. I keep getting asked if I’m ready for Delilah to come home and I say yes and no. Yes cause I have almost everything for her, we just need nipples for the bottles, bassinet sheets and preemie clothes LOL.
Yup you read that right preemie clothes, I was wrong when I said she would come home in newborn clothes. We really thought she would be in the NICU tell her due date August 17th. So we bought all newborn stuff haha she likes to fool us.
When I called this afternoon I was informed they took her off the oxygen to see how she would do, and she lasted a few hours but had to be put back on. She’s just not ready yet. It’s ok that she’s not ready, I would only be 35 weeks pregnant right now so I am learning to be patient (how many of you are shocked and laughing at that last part? Lol)
So as of right now it’s day-by-day, waiting on the word that she will be coming home. I am supppperrr excited and terrified at the same time lol.
Praying she continues to gain weight, eat from bottles (a little better then what she is) and it would be nice not to have oxygen but if she needs it at home she needs it at home.
Also will you all please add my friends little girl in your prayers, little Cheyanne needs all the prayers she can get. Please pray that her lungs get better and mature, get her healthy and send her home with mom and dad SOON!
Hugs and love
Loving her pacifier :)
