More food please!!!

I called in for an update this morning since I will not get up to GR until this afternoon. The Dr saw her already and DID increase her feedings from 20mL to 24mL every 3 hours!! Her little belly likes Mommy's milk much better than the formula!! She still does not take much by bottle, but hopefully that day will come soon!!

The one concern they are still watching is her bilirubin level. She had come out from her phototherapy light just a couple days ago and her levels have rebounded. They do expect that the levels go up the first few days but then it should plateau off and decrease on its own. Addison went from 6.1 to 8.6 to 8.9 this morning. The Dr is giving her one more day to see if she can turn it around on her own. If she is higher again tomorrow, we will have to get her sunglasses back out :(.



We are thankful for her ability to tolerate more milk, but pray for the bilirubin to go down!!
