When Yashira was born, her lungs were not fully developed, so she needed a little help to breathe with a machine. Now, Yashira is 28 weeks gestational age, about 1 month and 2 weeks old, and still uses the NIPPV/CPAP machine with a steady oxygen rate to help her breathing. We are increasing her feeds and adding the necessary fluids so she can grow strong, as well as started giving her vitamins and supplements to better her health. She needed a few blood transfusions to help her body regulate because she was diagnosed with Anemia, as it's very common in preemies due to their bone marrow not being developed enough to create their own blood. Aside from that Yashira is gaining weight steadily and now weighs over 1 pound and 10 ounces.
Yashira just opened her eyes to a whole new world, and we feel super excited for her to reach such a big milestone. Right now, she can only see shadows and lights, but soon her eyes will become strong enough to see us clearly. 
We are incredibly happy, and we can’t wait to watch her grow and experience everything around her!

Cuando Yashira nació, sus pulmones no estaban completamente desarrollados, por lo que necesitaba un poco de ayuda para respirar con una máquina. Ahora, Yashira tiene 28 semanas de gestación, aproximadamente 1 mes y 2 semanas de edad, y todavía usa la máquina NIPPV/CPAP con un nivel de oxígeno constante para ayudar su respiración. Estamos aumentando su alimentación y agregando los fluidos necesarios para que pueda crecer fuerte, al igual que empezamos a darle vitaminas y suplementos para mejorar su salud. Necesitó algunas transfusiones de sangre para ayudarla a regular su cuerpo porque fue diagnosticada con Anemia, lo que es muy común en los prematuros debido a que su médula ósea no está lo suficientemente desarrollada para crear su propia sangre. Aparte de eso, Yashira está aumentando peso de manera constante, pesando ahora más de 1 libra y 10 onzas. 
Yashira acaba de abrir los ojos a un mundo completamente nuevo, y estamos super emocionados de que alcance un logro tan grande. Ahora mismo, solo puede ver sombras y luces, pero pronto sus ojos serán lo suficientemente fuertes como para vernos claramente.
¡Estamos increíblemente felices y no podemos esperar a verla crecer y experimentar todo lo que la rodea!
