Maryssa is doing well in the NICU. She's up to 45ml of milk every 3 hours and is nursing well. She was on a UV blanket yesterday because of her jaundice, but they took her off this morning. We'll see if she can keep it off now :-) They did say she had a quick issue with breathing the other night. While they expect this from preemies, it's unusually that she didn't do it until she was 4 days old. They said they're looking for her to breath well for the next 5 days. If she can do that she will be in the clear to come home. If it's a minor, then they will put her on a monitor and we will watch her at home. If it gets worse, then she will stay in the NICU.
Over all she is much more alert and is crying when it's time to eat! Here's some pictures from the last couple days.
