Saela will by osmosis experience her first Michigan State University football game tomorrow 9/1/07. I'm sure Steve will be giving her all of the updates. He has confirmed that the game against UAB will be on ESPN2 and thus able to be viewed in the waiting area of the RNICU.
We continued to make gains today. Saela had her nasal cannula removed and she is breathing room air on her own. As you can see, we are down to one tube on her pretty little face. She was able to breastfeed one time today and she did pretty well - we can start out with breastfeeding trials once a day until her stamina improves. If she is not breathing too fast she can take the rest of her feedings by bottle. At six tonight, however, she was breathing a little too fast and therefore was fed through her tube. Perhaps we will be able to try again at 9 pm this evening. Saela's bilirubin level also decreased to a point where we could discontinue the bili lights.
GO STATE!
