Baby AE's Progress

Baby AE is doing a fabulous job growing, eating and reaching her benchmarks. Here's some of the things she's working on or accomplished.

  • Eating on her own {The nurses introduced her to the bottle approximately ten days ago. She loved it and quickly became a pro. Her feeding tube was removed 4-30-12. She eat about 60 ml every four hours or when she wants to eat.}
  • She weighs 5 pounds, 8 ounces.
  • Back to sleep {she sleeps on her back without anything in the crib}
  • Tried out her car seat {she looked so tiny}. She still needs to do her car seat challenge {sitting in the car seat for 90 minutes without her oxygen levels dipping.
  • Three out of Four of her immunizations.

And the biggest news: She's most likely coming home Friday, May 4th or Monday, May 7th!!!

She still having some bouts with apnea, but if she keeps progressing she'll be coming home SOON.
