4/2 Update from Hospital

I'm sitting with Madeleine against me chest- this beats a cup of coffee in the morning bya country mile- and have a short update to provide. Madeleine had a little difficulty with her breathing last night- nothing too out of the ordinary but they took her blood gas this morning and they had some concerns. Again, nothing major but her blood was slighly acidic. The doctors believe that this resulted from ordinary breathing issues and possibly because they have limited the amount of fluid they are giving her. The fluid limitation is designed to help with her heart condition's tendency to over burden the lungs. In short- this isn't a major incident but until her blood gasses clear up, they'll hold off feeds. I'm waiting for rounds and will get a better idea of when the gas could clear up (potentially today). Additionally, they took an X-Ray of Madeleine and that should tell us if any intestinal issues remain. Since I haven't heard anything yet, my assumption is that this isn't an issue. So far, its a little bumpy day but the bumps don't seem major. Days like today just reinforce how important patience will be throughout Madeleine's stay in the NICU..
