3 LBS

SHE'S HUGE!!! This morning when we called in to the NICU, McKenna's nurse told us that when she made her nightly trip to the scale that she weighed 3 whole pounds. That is a huge accomplishment. We need to get a couple more pounds on her, get her to maintain her own temperature, and get her to breath, suck, and swallow milk all at the same time. Also, due to her progress, she was switched to nasal canula at 11pm last night. When we talked to her nurse again at 3am, she said that McKenna was doing just fine. She was on about 40-45% oxygen at the time. I talked to Dr. Nau last night on the phone and he didn't suspect any problems with the conversion over to nasal canula. We will try to keep you up to date on everything going on, but for some reason that you don't hear from us for a couple days, please assume that everything is OK.
