620 grams

Ella has gained 10 grams...since she was born at 395 grams 620 grams is amazing...it still equals 1 pound 6 ounces but we'll take it. Her blood sugar is doing so well they are going to lower the amount of sugar that is in her IV and her blood gas test was textbook this morning : ) this tests the oxygen, ph balance, and carbon dioxide in the blood. Her lungs seem to be improving since she is only needing from 21 - 25% oxygen and we breath 21% oxygen normally in the air. This is a step forward and hopefully they will be able to lower the liters per minute from 4 to 3 and move toward breathing on her own...yipee!!

Overall, Ella continues to improve...pray for infection to stay away, her lungs to improve even more, and her bowels to stay clear.
