A Day for Bonding

Today we got to hold Caitlyn for the first time! The hospital calls it "kangarooing" - they placed Caitlyn on my chest and let her rest there for about an hour. It was wonderful bonding time and is therapeutic for both Caitlyn and me. She is so precious!






Day 16 stats:
- 1 lb, 14.3 oz
- extubated with a C-pap
- feedings are 10ccs every 3 hours
- PICC line still in place
