A small step back


Good morning! Hope everyone is well and getting ready for Christmas.

Audrey is 4lbs 11oz and 16 1/2 in. long. She recently had a hearing test and passed with flying colors. Her biggest challenge is bottle feedings. She was only allowed to bottle feed once a shift, and finally advanced to twice a shift. Since then, her brady and choking episodes have increased. She was ordered back to one bottle feeding per shift. Her doctor is trying different thickeners and consistencies for her milk so that she can eat without choking. It's a little difficult as this is the last obstacle she needs to overcome before coming home.

I don't think we'll have her home for Christmas, but we want her healthy whenever she's ready.
