Since last night, Addison suddenly started liking her bottle more! She took 9mL for the night shift nurse last night and 11mL 2 of her 3 feedings for day shift today before we got there. Tim and I were there for her 6pm feeding and she took 13mL with Tim!! That is almost half of her feeding!! We were so proud :)
We hope she continues to improve. In order to come home she has to take ALL of her bottle feedings around the clock for 2 days straight. The nurses are starting to "test her" tonight and slowly wean down the temperature on her isolette to see if she can maintain her body temperature. She is also on a portable monitor which the nurse said usually means they will probably be going home within 1-2 weeks! All very good news!!
Thank you as always for the continued prayers!
That's great news! We continue to pray for her and her parents.
