Our little peanut continues to do well. Her weight today was 1 lb 12.8 oz. So we are going in the right direction. The doctors increased her feeds today to 3 cc every 3 hours. She is doing well with them. If she continues to digest this small amount they will keep increasing. For her size she needs about 16 cc every 3 hours to gain wt. That is about half of an ounce. They are moving slowly with the feedings so that she does not get her belly all distended again. She had a lot of air from the cpap and that is slowly moving through. Hopefully by the beginning of next week they will have her up to full feeds and get rid of the IV feedings. She is much more alert now and seems to really respond when Marcus and I are there. She is a night owl and loves to wake up at 10 pm. We are hoping the NICU breaks her of that before she comes home.
