Off the SiPAP

IMG_0975Today Becca came off the SiPAP and is now back on the nasal cannula. The haze in her lungs is clearing up and the doctors are satisfied with her progress. Her current weight is 2 lbs and 15 ounces, and we’re excited about her reaching the 3 lb mark. Yesterday, the doctor changed Becca’s feeding process. She is now being fed 28 ml in 30 minutes, every three hours. This is to prepare her for bottle feeding.NICU 12-19-2009

  1. From the pictures most recently, she really looks like she’s starting to gain weight. I can see the beginnings of chubbiness on her arms.

    She’s a precious little baby, Amy!! I’m so glad she’s off that machine!! Still praying!!

  2. PTL! Progress every day. Great new picture. We are so thankful we were able to see Becca in person. Even though she was hidden behind the SiPAP “stuff,” we know it was for her good. She is still tiny, but her weight gain is obvious. It looks like she has grown since we last saw her on Thursday. We pray she continues to gain weight and get stronger every day. We love you and continue to pray much for all of you!

  3. So glad she is off the SiPAP — she looks so much more comfortable in these pictures, plus we get to see her sweet face! Praying for continued good progress every day!

  4. It’s great to hear (and see) that she’s off the SiPAP. Great pictures!!! We’ll continue to pray that her lungs clear up completely and that she hits the three pound mark soon! Love you guys!
