Hi!
Maddie is still doing awesome! She is growing by leaps and bounds, we are now 3lbs 5oz! She hit that 3lb mark running. She is still being weaned of her O2 and is now on a flow of 1.5 liters and doing well. Her feeds have been upped to 9.5ml/hour. Currently her weight is 1.51 kg and when she hits that 1.7 kg mark they will pull her NJ tube to an NG tube (feeding tubes). Also we will be allowed to (cross your fingers) do what they call "non nutritive sucking". That is where I will be allowed breast feed her essentially. I think they'll have me pump prior to doing this with her, but she will still get some milk. When she reaches the 1.8 kg mark she will be moved to a crib and finally get out of the isollete. We are finally able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Pray that she continues in this upward movement and we are able to bring her home soon.
