Firstly, thanks to everyone who volunteered their blood for Maria...Bryan, Steph...even Russ Kogut! I cannot wait until Maria can understand how many people love and support her!
Her alarms numbered a career-high of 22 between the hours of 5-9pm. That's a LOT. She was mostly desatting (oxygen drop), but once they changed her position to laying on her belly, she vastly improved. There are several possible explanations for these increasing alarms, but my biggest prayer is that she is not showing signs of NEC. They will watch her closely tonight. I won't get into what NEC is, unless she is faced withed it.
To say that she enjoyed exciting her parents nerves is a bit of an understatement.
Tonight we began our evening care routine by feeding her and singing "On Top of Spaghetti". Then, Joe held her while I began reading her first story aloud to her: The Hobbit. Studies show that early exposure to JR Tolkein makes very intelligent children who are almost as wonderful as their fathers...of course the studies are in my dreams, but we thought the book was a good choice!
