Emily is still in the hospital, it's been 3 days now. Each day I go see her 4 to 5 times as I cannot stay in with her but I can visit her as often as I like. Each time, she looks different to me, sometimes she looks fairer, sometimes she looks red, sometimes she looks thinner, sometimes she looks rounder, sometimes she looks perfectly normal, sometimes she looks not so. Breaks my heart that I cannot hold her, she still is on oxygen and tube feeding although her intravenous saline drip was stopped. I bring my EBM to her daily, packing them in small disposable containers as the nurse advised.
Hubby and I went to see her together today as it's a public holiday. The older kids tagged along but they cannot go into the ward. Afterwards, we dropped by the church to pray and light candles for our Lady's grotto. We met the priest and he advised us to arrange for baptism for Emily as soon as possible. Now I do not know how to do this as Emily cannot leave the ward yet. And others are not allowed to enter the ward either. I need to find the sister in the ward to ask for permission to either bring Emily out for 2 hours or let the priest and godparents come in to perform the baptism on her. I am also trying to get her baptism dress as I want this to be her special moment with beautiful white dress to match. But it's not easy to find pure white dresses that fits a newborn. I will try again or I may have to make one quickly.
She will have her blood drawn for chromosomal test on Friday and an appointment at different Hospital was made for her in May to see the cardiologist to check her heart. I have been seeing her SpO2 level with assisted oxygen was 100% but this afternoon, it is at 95%. Wonder if this is problematic.Did not manage to talk to any doctors today. Getting worried about her condition.
She is 20 days old today. God, please have mercy on her, make her healthy soon and come home with us.
