Here is a little better angle. You can actually see her chin now, and her she seems to keep her mouth closed a lot more. Oh and yes, she does seem a little puffy. The nurses say that she is a little swollen, and that it's totally normal. Jayson and I will be reading up on that tonight, if we can find it in our book.
...her new feeding tube!!!! Check it out! Sydney now has her feeding tube going in her nose, rather than her mouth. It is running along side the canula. Hopefully you can see it. The benefits to having it in her nose are that she can bottle or breast feed easier. She can now use her tongue to suck... so we'll start working on these too things in the near future! Like I said, she has been really calm and breathing well with the tube in her nose! Also, this feeding tube gets changed once a month, rather than the mouth feeding tubes that get changed every three days. Therefore it should be more comfortable for her all the way around.
