Good morning! I'm happy to share some good news! On what was supposed to be Audrey's birthday (Dec. 19th), she restarted her bottle feeding and did amazing. Last week, she was taking about an hour to finish 30 ml of milk with choking and breathing events. Saturday, Audrey had a full bottle(45ml) in about 15 minutes and was still hungry after. She didn't have any episodes and let out great big burps afterward. She did the same thing Saturday night, Sunday morning, and Sunday night.
This morning I spoke to Audrey's therapist and she said Audrey did an excellent job and they are hoping she'll be bumped up to two bottle feedings per shift. If she keeps up the momentum for about a week, we may be looking at going home next week or the week after.
I'm so happy, but very nervous. I'll be on pins and needles these next two weeks. I can't wait to share news of us going home. I will be sure to keep everyone posted.
P.S. Audrey weighs 5lb 4oz!
