Sydney weighed in at 3lbs 1oz (1390 grams) tonight. Her increased weight helps her maintain heat better. She can now be swaddled, and her isolette has been changed to help get her ready for a crib in room air.With Sydney swaddled she can be held facing you, it is a lot easier to see her this way. She enjoys looking at her mother, and listening to her voice. Sydney still enjoys to kangaroo, so we try and switch up how we hold her.
Sydney is still on the ventilator. She is more stable, and requires less oxygen then she has in the past, but it is still a struggle for her. Within the next few weeks as she has more weight gain this will help her get stronger to be extubated to get on the next step CPAP.
