Abigail Update
Tuesday, December 2, 1997
Sorry I'm such a slacker!
Due to Aunt Colleen & Uncle Eric's wedding, this will probably be the last update until Monday, December 15.
Abigail has put on some ounces -- she was at 2 lbs. 9.5 oz. at the last weigh-in. This is probably because she's up to 13 cc's every 2 hours for feedings.
Abby extubated herself last week, so they tried to do the CPAP (continuous positive air pressure) tubes in her nose again ... but she pulled and tugged at them, and irritated her nasal passages, so they put her under an oxygen hood. She had some more bradycardia episodes (but not as many as last time) -- so they finally got her back on the ventilator. She just needs a little help for a little longer!
Here, as promised, are some more pictures.
And for those of you who are hooked on the Abby chronicles, Dad's e-mail address is jsryan@center.colgate.edu -- I'm sure he'll be glad to send a quick update!
