Yesterday little miss Marley pulled her feeding tube out of her nose...so...they left it out! Since, she has eaten all of her bottles by herself! This is one of the biggest things that she had to overcome before being able to come home. We are praying that she keeps eating well on her own so that she can do without the tube. All she has to do now is continue to gain weight. Last night she weighed 3lbs. 2.5oz. Every day she should gain a half an ounce. Once she gets closer to 4lbs. she can come home with us.
Auntie Carol says she loves the song "You Are My Sunshine" She sings it to her when she visits and it always makes her smile.
Brooklyn is giving us some issues with her eating...nothing major just some things we have to figure out - what is the right combo of actual breast feeding, breast milk in a bottle and the formula supplement. She keeps gaining weight though and has seriously messy diapers! All signs she is getting plenty to eat.
