Daddy helping....& update 12-31-2011

Dad got to attempt to hold her pacifier in so that she could work on her suck reflex while she was getting fed at the same time through her oral-gastric tube. She has a strong suck! YAY Bella!
We had another conversation/update on plan of care with the Dr today. They are going to monitor the ventricles with the next head US scheduled for Wednesday. She is doing amazing with her feedings, pooping, & still moving all arms & legs very well. (we would worry she would get stiff muscles related to the complications from the head bleed, something called PVL for short-u can look it up if you want). But she is moving things well & her head circumference is growing at a normal rate.
It's harder now to see that breathing tube in as Bella got a roommate today & that roommate actually cries! We so want to hear Bella cry! So we keep hoping & praying & reminding ourselves of the peaceful feelings we had during her blessings that all will be well!
Oh & mom got to hold her again today! Go mom!
