Baby in NICU and I'm having bad day with it

Yeah, it's an umbilical line and low lying at that which is why I can't really hold her. Some good news is her numbers are up so they stopped continuous feed and some is being given through a bottle every 3 hours and then topped off through feeding tube. I got to hold her head up and feed her part of a bottle. I also got to change her diaper, something you'd never think you'd get excited about until something like this happens. She was so alert and searching my face and turning when I talked. She loves her momma, it's so sweet. I love those adoring looks only a new born can give you. I just hope this sticks but know that it can still decline. It's a small win but I'll take it.

My daughter was 5lbs3oz. And they told me her sugar level was low and sowas her body temtemperature. They had to warm her up. She was sleepy all the time and I hhad to force feed her and keep waking her up to feed her. Changing her diaper was one way to wake her
