Day 38

Aerin had a fine day. She's holding at 24 cc's per feeding and is getting by at near room-level oxygen. She'd weighed in 0.8 oz. lighter this evening, but slight drops like this one often follow big weight gains like yesterday's. She's also an overnight guest in NICU A this evening, as they are waxing the floor in NICU B.

Would you care to learn some fascinating Henrico Doctor's Hospital NICU history? NICU B used to be the Progressive Care Nursery (PCN). This was before NICU A, formerly known as the NICU, burst at the seams. The PCN moved to the third floor, leaving room for NICU expansion. So the PCN is one step ahead of Aerin, for now, but not for long.

Sadly, Uncle Daniel departs for home in NYC tomorrow. It's always great having him here.
