Sunday, August 02, 2009 3:00 PMLydia is doing very well. She's back on the nasal cannula after some labored breathing and low oxygen levels today. Her jaundice also came back and is now back on her light station. She'll still be released at beginning of next week. She will come home with a nasal cannula and monitors. She's been nursing well and is just the sweetest little thing ever! She's a giant in the NICU--one of her pod-mates is only 2 pounds. We are counting our many blessings.
The surgeons goal for Lydia is to keep her well (at home) so she can have her surgery at 4 months of age. They will be taking out her lower lobe of her right lung so the top two thirds of her lung will grow in its place by the age of 4. We are very satisfied with this result and we pray that her lung will be healed by then so the surgery is not even needed. All things are possible.
Love you,
Kyle and Melinda
