Mackenzie is sleeping in an open crib tonight!

Last night she spent an hour in the car seat wearing a blood oxgen monitor. The “car seat test” is done to prove that she can sit up in the seat without losing her ability to properly breathe. Unfortunately her body temperature after was a bit low, so they put her back in the Isolette.

This morning the Isolette was turned down to that target of 27 degrees Celsius. Mackenzie was able to maintain a good body temp in there throughout the day.

After tonight’s 6pm feeding, the nurse replaced the Isolette with an open air crib. This is the final hurdle toward convincing the doctors to let Mackenzie come home. Click on the picture to see more of her and the bunny in the crib. Of course there’s also a small gallery.
