I put a huge long post in my journal (linked below) if you care to read the whole thing, it is more detailed and includes pictures and her nursery pics too!
But in summary she is doing amazing! She is 9 weeks old today, 34w5d gestation. She is now breastfeeding for most of her meals, 3 bottles with fortifier which is her going home plan, and a few breaks with the NG tube due to an apnea episode requiring stimulation. She is also on 1/16th of a Liter of oxygen which is also her going home plan, unless by some miracle she passes her room air test tomorrow.
She passed her hearing test. Is now in an open air crib and maintaining her temps well. She still has to do her carseat test, probably in a couple of days. We were looking at discharge on Tuesday but due to her episode last night we have to wait 7 more days, barring any future episodes of course. So it looks like she could come home as early as May 5th which would be 10w1d actual and 35w6d corrected.
We have been so lucky to have had such an uneventful course and we hope she continues doing well and gets to come home soon. Of course this is MUCH sooner than we EVER anticipated her getting to come home, but she has done things much different than us or her Dr's ever anticipated from a 25 weeker as well so who knows!
