A little better

That is Jentry is feeling a little better. We are still at CN and as far as we know we are waiting on Jentry to breathe on her own without the aid of oxygen (she did this for a few hours tonight but they had to put her back on the oxygen to sleep), she needs to have slower breath rates, and she needs to eat more. She was doing much better eating today. She isn't in the mood for "solid food" (that is baby food in a jar!) but she was willing to drink formula and watered down apple juice.

I wasn't a fan of juice...but when your baby needs to eat in order to get out of the hospital you will do whatever it takes...even if that means giving her some juice!

Jentry is doing better...she was standing in her crib tonight smiling...that is more like the Jentry we know and love...however this mama will tell you that she is DEFINITELY not herself...she is still wanting lots of cuddles on the lap of Jack or myself...however she does prefer to be in the lap of her daddy! She also has a cough that seems to be productive...this is good and means that she is working the gunk out of her lungs.

Right now she is sleeping peacefully and this is wonderful. It looks like tonight could be her first good night of sleep this week. We hope for that. Her little body needs the rest!

All for tonight. I will try to update after we talk to the Dr. tomorrow morning...we are hoping and praying that we get discharged tomorrow...but only time will tell.
