Jessica had an echocardiogram in the afternoon which showed good blood flow through the stent that was put in with the last surgery.
Auntie Loraynne came for another visit in the evening and got to have some cuddles with Jessica.
Jessica had a very settled night but despite having some extra formula top-ups during the day, her weight had dropped again by 10g. The dietician came to review and was happy with Jessica continuing to breastfeed and having top-ups of expressed mummy milk where Louise was able to express enough, but if Jessica needed additional formula top-ups, she should have Infatrini, which is a high-calorie formula, to help her regain weight.
Other than the small fluctuations with her weight, Jessica is doing well and was able to come off the oxygen completely. She still occasionally needs a little oxygen immediately after a feed, although the team suspect this is due to reflux and since she has been having Gaviscon before feeds, she has less tendency to drop her oxygen saturations after a feed.
Our friends Hannah and Katie came to visit in the evening and meet Jessica for the first time and Michael came back for the weekend to be with his family and have some cuddle time with Jessica.
So glad to hear she's doing well! Continued prayers for her and all of you.
ReplyDeleteI've just read the whole of 'Jessica's Journey'. What an incredible journey it is. You are all so brave and strong and you have the most beautiful baby girl. I'm so glad to hear that she's doing so well. With lots of love, Sarah, Anthony and Jack (Barker from SUBLDS) xxx
