So Madeline was having a quiet Friday resting with Grandma yesterday and then I had to come in and let the chaos commence. About thirty minutes into my time holding her whatever calming influence I had on Thursday magically disappeared. She fussed, squirmed, rolled, cried, desaturated her oxygen, increased her heart rate, pretty much every card in her deck telling me how irritated she was. Both the nurse and I watched for a solid 20 minutes as she had what seemed like the premee equivalent of a hissy fit until she finally calmed down and went to sleep in her condo. Most likely is that she was very uncomfortably trying to relieve herself but it's never as much fun seeing her so irritated. I was laughing with Kristen that it served me right for teasing her that I had the magic touch with our daughter. Maddy showed me, that's for sure!
Aside from her "outburst", she's still on track for removal of her tubes on Monday and her feedings were increased again to 30 mLs. She also had her big weight gain for the week going up to 1495 g which is only 110 g from the magic number that gets her out of the condo. Grow grow grow little one!
