Pictures of the Incubator Graduate

Here is a picture of Emma in her open crib. It is at an incline to prevent reflux. She loves to sleep on her belly and side. Also, her bilirubin levels dropped to 6.9 so they took her off the bili-blanket. There is a chance her levels could rebound but for now no more glowing baby.

Emma met with the speech therapist today for an evaluation for bottle feeding. She did pretty good (drank 10ml), but isn't quite ready to drink from a bottle. She will get another evaluation on Monday and it is expected she will be on bottle feeding by the end of next week. This is the only thing keeping Emma in the big house.
Emma in her open crib--lots of pink!

This is Emma's monitor. The top # is her heart rate, the second is her oxygen levels, and the third is her respiration rate.
