Here are some more updates on Baby T...
Jan 19th: She was up to 4 feedings by mouth per day....the rest was gavauge (not sure of spelling). She was up 80 grams or just over two ounces last night when weighed.
Jan 20th: Still only on 4 mouth feedings per day - she still gets very tired and gets worn out very easily. Though she is eating more than what is "allotted" for her. She is supposed to be eating 43 grams but she has been eating 60 grams. She gained 10 grams last night.
Jan 21st: She is up to 5 feedings (when she is up to all 8 by mouth for 24 hours she can go home). She gained another 10 grams - not much gained but at least she is not loosing! They were going to try to the carseat test today but the seat that we used for K did not work for T because she is so much smaller. The shoulder straps did not fit right so it was postponed until I could get a different seat...
Jan 22nd: She is on 6 feedings by mouth...getting closer! She was down 53 grams...her first loss since she started gaining weight. Doctors said that was more typical though because she is working harder eating than she would just being fed by tube. AND, she passed her carseat test today!! Hurray! Another step closer to going home...now we just have to be eating all feedings by mouth and gaining weight.....SOON.....Here she is during her carseat test. She had to be able to sit there for at least a half hour without any "spells." She didn't have any problems but I didn't think she would because she hasn't had any problems normally...
