Olivia needed another blood transfusion
today. They began the second round of
medication for the murmur (ductus) as well.
We made it to the hospital pretty late last night and they delayed the
touch time because they were prepping her for the medication. So we were able to participate; and Junior
was able to hold her for the first time.
When we first arrived we noticed Nurse L and another Nurse over Olivia
with the incubator open. Nurse L explained that Olivia’s right hand was swollen
so the PIK specialist was talking a look at her line to make sure it wasn’t infiltrated. Nurse L believes it was swollen because
Olivia stuck her hand under the wrap around her and it was too heavy for
her. The PIK specialist said everything
looks good with the PIK so we just put a warm compress and kept her hand
elevated. The swelling went down by the
time we were heading home. Livvy also
gained another 2 ounces! She now weighs 1 lb and 8 oz. She is looking good as well.
