Video!

So this is a bit of an experiment with the video camera...hopefully it works. This is about one minute long and Claire makes lots of cute noises towards the end so turn up the volume! It is from a couple of days ago when she just had her IVs out (hence the cotton ball on her head and the band aid on her hand, but those are long gone).

Claire is doing well today. She is under a photo therapy lamp to treat a mild case of jaundice, which is very, very common in newborns. She was just barely over the line for whether she needed the photo therapy. She had another breathing episode last night, and avoiding those is now the key to her going home. Thursday is the best case scenario for going home, but the episodes have all been at night, so we won't have a good sense of timing til the morning. All of her lab work points towards acid reflux/lung closing as the cause of the episodes...no signs of infection. If it happens again, we may give the antacid a try to see if that helps avoid the issue.

She continues to eat like a champ, which is very good. Valerie and I are now convinced that we are parents due to our overwhelming excitement about Claire's poo...I know, too much information, but knowing that her digestive system is working properly is pretty exciting stuff.

Hope the video works! Here it is:
