We've Got a Two Pounder

As of yesterday Charlotte is officially two pounds! That may not sound like a lot to most people, but to us that's a huge milestone. Granted some of that weight may be from waterweight that accumulated while she was immobile this past week, but it's still two pounds!
One of the tests sent earlier this week checking for infection came back positive today and the doctors seem pretty sure that Charlotte had pneumonia. Thankfully, from the start they have been treating her with the antibiotics that target pneumonia , so the infection should be on its way out. The infection has taken quite a toll on her lungs and she will probably have to be on the ventilator for awhile longer. At the moment she's on the "new" ventilator they have, which gives her 600 breaths/minute. Supposedly this ventilator does less damage to the lungs than a traditional ventilator, but because it delivers so many breaths per minute she usually needs to be paralyzed to help her relax. I hate to see her paralyzed because she can still hear what's going on and feel people touch her, but she can't move or respond. I'm hoping that by tomorrow they'll be able to take her off that drug and she'll be back to doing her hourly aerobic routines.
Several people have asked me what she's eating. At the moment just fats and other nutrients delivered via IV, but she has been able to get breast-milk off and on, depending on how stable she is (1cc every 6 hrs - mice eat more than that). There's talk of starting her back on the milk tomorrow and I really hope so because a) she needs to get some meat on those bones, and b) I'm running out of room in our freezer for the milk.
