This week Emily moved off her BiPAP and got a new machine. She is now on a presser flow which they are slowly wiener her down. This week she was at about a presser of 4. The nurses still have to chase her oxygen up and down and she ranges from 21 (normal air) when she is relaxed and can go up to around 30 when she is getting bugged and not liking something that is going on.
Emily is also getting to good a her pacifier. Where before when she had it it was hard for her to suck and breath at the same time and we would have to take her pacifier away to bring her oxygen back up. With her getting better at the pacifier this is the first step for her to eat. She is funny sometimes when she has it in her hand goes up to hold it.

Emily likes be bundled with her hand up next to her face. One night, after her bath, we bundled her up she got her fingers in her mouth. 
We are able to start giving Emily a bath by ourselves. During bath time this week Emily was very agitated all day and we were thinking she might not do good during a bath, but she surprised us and relaxed during her bath time. Her oxygen went up and she let us hold her after we were done.
The nurse one day decide that Emily was starting to become to cute not to dress so even though she is still in the isolate (with temperature control) they started to put cloths on her. I surprised me that how much bigger she looks with clothes that fit her. As one nurse had really big clothes to put her in one night and she is just swimming in them.
