1-14-10 DAY TWO IN THE NICU

Riley was taken off dopamine becuase she was keeping her blood pressure up all by herself :) good thing. She also got to start eating! (GET THIS) she gets to eat 1/5 tsp every 4 hours of mommy's milk!!
She is also improving breathing wise. She might be put on a conventional ventilator. They said she gained an ounce but it was probably jsut fluids.

Elizabeth....not much change. She is on and off Dopamine but not keeping her blood pressure up as much as they would hope. She is still not able to eat BUT :) she was put on *room air today.

*The air we normally breathe, which contains 21% oxygen. When supplemental oxygen is given for respiratory problems, it is in concentrations higher than 21%. http://www.ttmf.org/glossary_p-t.html
