Exciting News

Here's an update on how Baby A is doing:
She weighs 4 pounds 5 1/2 ounces. {need to get the half ounce in}
She's 34 weeks {gestational age} today.
The doctor took her off her nasal canula yesterday {breathing on her own throughout the night with no 'episodes'}.
Her nurses introduced Baby A to her first bottle feedings yesterday and she did a great job. {They will be weaning her off the feeding tube, the staff will check her weight and then decide when she can come home}.
The doctors, if she continue doing such a FABULOUS job, she'll be able to come home in 3 to 4 weeks!!! {First or second week in May}

SO EXCITED!!!

Stats

Baby A is doing fantastic. We  will talk to the doctors the first week of May to see when she can come  home. We are hoping for the first couple of weeks of June.

In order for her to come home, she needs to:
1 - eat on her own {no feeding tube} and be able to digest her food.
2 - be at a certain weight 1.8 Kg
3 - sleep without having any issues {no apnea}

We are hoping to start bottle training her within the next week or so.  Her brain needs to be developed enough for her to suck, swallow and  breathe at the same time.

She's almost there with her weight gain. At 1.8 Kg, babies can typically maintain their own body heat.

We are amazed at all the things she needs to learn and how well she is doing. Thank you for your support, love and prayers. They are helping so much!!
