Making Her Smile

Is Vera better? Nope. Mr Mucus continues to stuff her chest up; we continue suctioning with a little manual bulb through the night. A machine may have to become a standard feature at home now. But we won't dwell on that for now.

The little girl still wants to have fun despite her congestion - that tells us that she is managing it somewhat. Here's how we try to cheer Vera up, by rubbing the sides of her head. This is guaranteed to make her smile - and us as well.

Hoping that you don't have to do the machine, but it is very easy.We have had one for a while. I want to learn the deep suction where we go down the nostrils with a very skinny tubing. Right now we just use a soft piece called the little sucker, but she has to have the premie, because the newborn is too large.
She looks so good and praying this doesn't settle in her chest.

i love our machine. i hated the little bulb syringe and so did kaiya. even though the machine is loud, it makes up for that by being very quick, thorough, and easier to clean!

i love the pics of vera, she's looks so cute rubbing her head and smiling :)
