Madison is now up to 3lbs 12.3 ounces. She continues to grow and lengthen her stride. She is now up to 30 cc's, the minimum feeding to keep out her IV. She has progressed so much in such a short time.
The next steps for Madison is to continue working on maintaining her body temperature so she can be taken out of the isolett unit. She will then move into an open crib. Once there, she will continue to work at increasing her food intake while working on eating without the use of the feeding tube. After she is able to maintain in these areas all she has left to do is eat her way out of the NICU. Our sweet little girl is such a fighter and anxious to come home. We love her and are so proud of her.
Lance and Kim were able to spend some time with Maddie last night. Mommy got to hold her precious baby. What a sweet moment. She's so pure and innocent. Straight from heaven. It's so easy to feel peace and love from our Heavenly Father just looking at her.
Maddie,
ReplyDeleteMommy loves you. Have a wonderful day. We will be there tonight to visit you, sweetie.
