One Month Old!

Caitlyn turned one month old this week! The time has really gone by quickly. She is now 2 pounds, 5.5 ounces and 15.5 inches long. She is starting to fill out and getting fat on her little bones. They had to increase her oxygen pressure to 1.5 liters (up from 1 liter), which is common among little ones and may be related to the possible infection. Her rate of oxygen has increased as well, up to 40-50%, when it used to be at only 25-30% (room air is 21% oxygen). It tends to go up this high when she is on her back. Today, they could only have her on her back for 15 minutes at a time, the rest of the time she was on her tummy. She started milk yesterday, this time with no fortifier, and she is up to 20cc. She's on day 6 of 7 for antibiotics.
