So the transition from Mac to the hospital closer to home has actually been REALLY good and easy. She's no longer on the lead monitor, just a foot thing that takes heart rate and measures her oxygen saturation. Also as of today they are removing her feeding tube. Little miss miss has been taking 3 bottles then 1 tube feeding in a 12 hour period but when she gets the tube, even with her chooch she still has a cow until she gets a bottle so there you have it.
They changed her formula from the higher calorie to the regular so she's dropped in weight. She went from 1770g to 1690g over the last few days but she's still up over 3oz from where she came from Mac so they are ok with that. She's also not as 'puffy' anymore which could of been from a number of things, she's also had some crazy bowel movements over the last couple days too so again that could be contributing.
Also during today's update while I went in to bottle feed her, they let me know that she has 2 tests next week. One on her head (repeat ultrasound from a week after she was born) and that's on Monday and on Wednesday she's getting her eyes redone as well. Despite both being normal etc they still want to make sure it's all good.
BEST news of all, but completely terrifying, was the nurse saying possibly a Thursday discharge...umm hello, that's 6 days from now!!!! That's a full 3w1d prior to her original due date, it's crazy!!!!

ReplyDeleteYou must be so excited to have Kenzi home with you!!
ReplyDeleteShe's got spunk...just like Mom!!
I meant to ask earlier, but have the other kids be able to visit since she's been moved?
It's so awesome to hear she's doing so well! I can't believe they took the feeding tube out! You must be so thrilled! I can't wait to hear that she's home where she belongs!
