December 10th Update

Maddie is so close to coming home! She is doing so awesome today! She took all of her feedings by bottle. She is really showing more energy-she finished her bottles within 10-20 minutes which is very timely. The NICU case manager says if she keeps this up, we could be looking at the beginning of next week for discharge! She went down a little in weight, but probably because she is using so much energy to eat each bottle. Her weight is now 5lbs 4.10 ounces. The nurses tell us she is a favorite in the NICU, and that they will miss her, but really look forward for her to be at home with her mom & dad. We can't wait to see how she does tomorrow!
