We had a typical night... Feedings every 3 hours... We did have to go walking the unit about 4 am to finally get her back to sleep after the 3 am feed... She did good on the scale this morning, weighing in at 8.8 (2 ounce gain)... She didn't do to hot on tonight's weighing; she lost an ounce (8.7), but it's an overall gain for the entire day, which is good.... Not much going on these next few days, but she will have a heel prick every morning, so we can keep track of all her electrolytes... They were still normal today YAY!!!! The nutritionist came in and mentioned putting a feeding tube at night... But she got really sick on that at Roanoke and she wants to eat, so we will see about it... Even the doctors don't think it's necessary, so it's up in the air... We will see what her weight does over the next several days.. She is starting to spit up a lot more so I'll have to talk to them more tomorrow about that... We were unsuccessful again with hearing test... I don't know how they are going to get it, but is important that it gets done.. Because apparently the hearing and kidneys form at the same time in utero, and because she had a lot of fluid when she was born and failed the newborn one, it's important that we check again... She did go back two weeks after she was born and passed with flying colors but they need to redo it again to make sure there aren't any issues... We did get some physical therapy again today... Her left shoulder muscle is doing better, but the right one not so good... She really likes to keep it straight out on the side and pulls against us when we try to move it... So got to continue working hard on that... And extra tummy time, makes her bend it to
