Well, as you all prolly know by now brooklynn had to go to primary childrens hospital last saturday. What happened was we had her home for about a day and a half and she seemed to get really cold and wasnt eating. So Saturday morning i had a strong feeling i should call the her pediatrician, so i did and we went in that morning, when we got there they took her temp and it was only 96 degrees. She had also continued to loose weight and was down to 4lbs 7 oz. They decided we needed to send her to primary childrens hospital, and then when they called the hospital they told us to send her up in an ambulance and to try to stabilize her temp.

I guess when a baby has a low or high temp they take it very seriously because it could range from a very bad infection or something serious that could kill them, all the way down to just being so small and the lack of body fat to keep them warm.

We got there and did a whole bunch of test including a lumbar puncture. :( (which in the end they couldnt use anyway because they couldnt get enough fluid, also when they put her iv in, no blood came out because her circulation was so bad)

In the end all her test came back fine and she has been eating a lot better and has been able to keep her temp up, so that is good. While we were there, her oxygen kept going down, prolly just because of her periodic breathing (which is where they stop breathing for a second and then breathe a whole bunch to catch up, and it is very normal, most babies do this) but still they told us they needed to watch her longer to make sure she kept coming back up on her own. In the end they just think her lungs are fully matured and we have her on the smallest amount of oxygen they can give anyone, not so much for the actual oxygen, just for the stimulation and to help her lungs develop (hopefully only a week, but we will see).

Anywho, we are all doing well now, and thank you guys for all your support and love. Its so nice to know that i have such a loving family and friends who are always there for me/us. We will keep u updated. :)
