Good day for Zoey, frustrating day for Sally. Sally's appointment for checkup from all of her issues from last week was 45 minutes delayed, which was frustrating as we were trying to get to see Zoe's social worker (standard for premie's) before she left for the day. Unfortunately Sally's labs were also poor results. While her blood pressure is okay, her platelet levels are 40,000 less than what the docs consider acceptable & her iron level are poor as well. So, we're looking at getting a transfusion again for Sally, similar to what she had got so she was able to deliver Zoey. Zoey, on the other hand, had another good day. She had stooled twice, which was a big deal, as she was having some issues passing up to today, which is encouraging. Because she was able to do this & her hemoglobin levels were good she was able to be removed from under the Bilirubin lights & swaddled & put in normal light. She looked as calm & comfortable as we've seen her since, well, birth. Krista was down for the day as well & provided a sounding board for questions for us, story telling, & help for me while we ran errands & coming & going from appointments & buildings, much appreciated by us. Exhausted & pump time, out for the night
