Danee Day Two

We're back from tonight's visit to the hospital, and our little Danee is really being a champion!

Last night she was on the ventilator, and partly breathing on her own....

When we went to see her at lunchtime today, the ventilator was gone, and she had graduated to a CPAP machine, breathing "room air" or 21% oxygen, all on her own! During that mid-day visit, Cindy got to change her first Danee Diaper, which the nurse said had a really good amount or pee in it, which shows that her kidneys and other internal organs are kicking in!

Tonight's visit didn't have much new, other than some quality finger squeezes...





At one point, she squeezed my finger so tight her little fingertips turned white... I'm totally taking that as an "I Love Daddy!" moment...

Another thing we observed today is that Danee isn't really crazy about being bound up tight like a Baby Burrito, the way the nurses always want to wrap her. She fusses and fidgets, and is getting very good at working her way out of the blankie wrap!



Another thing she has made clear is that she does NOT like wet diapers. She was so fidgety tonight that we unwrapped her all the way to check on the diaper.



It wasn't very wet, so we wrapped her back up... and within minutes, her hand was out again... Funny girl... Still can't wait to actually be able to hold her, kiss her, feed her, snuggle her.

Now it's off to bed, while I still get un-interrupted sleep at night!
