Days 4 and 5 in the N.I.C.U.

On Saturday her jaundice was high, so she had to have the lights on her for 2 days. They had to keep her eyes covered, she didn't like that very much ;)
On Sunday morning, her IV came out and they put in a feeding tube. She had been nursing pretty good. If she didn't nurse a full feeding, which is 8-10 minutes, then they had to supplement the rest through the tube. They had to supplement 3 times. In order for the tube to come out, she had to nurse full feedings for 24 hours with no supplementing. TheN she would be watched for another 12-24 hours to make sure she was still nursing good.
As soon as the IV came out the girls could hold her. So sweet, my 3 little girls :)
I thought this was a cute picture, she always sticks her legs up, and just hangs out for a while. Kinda funny :) Now I know what was kicking me in the ribs all the time ;)
