Daily Update

JUNE 2nd, 1999

Nicole had her first day off the heavy medication she was on since she was born. She was having a tough time as they are adjusting to the right oral dose of medicine to continue to wean her off the medicine.

On the brighter side, Lorraine, Nicole and myself spent most of the day in a "family room" (similar to a hotel room in the hosp.) where Nicole was hooked up to oxygen only and this was the first time we were alone as a family!

From the new pix you will see some of the highlights.

Nicole also found great comfort in the swing, she really gets a quick out of it and it mellows her!

Tonite, she was moved from the level 3 NICU to level 2 NICU (less monitoring and quieter), a definite step forward.

She continues to persist in breast feeding but will probably be a few days before she gets the hang of it yet.

Still probably has about a week before coming home

We will keep you posted.

I have added a new photo album of the newest pix so you do not have to reload all the old one's everytime, but of course feel free to browse either album. The first original one Nicole, contains all the pix from up until she was extubated. In nicole2, will contain all the new pix.
