Weight Gain

After Madison's weight got down to 1 lb. 4oz, we are happy to report that she has been gaining weight for the last two days, and is now up to 1 lb. 8oz, which is more than her birth weight!

Kara also let me know she now has both her eyes open.

To test if Madison had an infection, the doctors took a blood culture and let it sit out to see if any bacteria grew. So far none has and that is good news. The doctors are giving her a seven day treatment of antibiotics. During this time, they stopped feeding her milk and she is back to the IV feedings. When her antibiotics are done, they will start giving her milk again.
