4 oz!

Madison gained 4oz over night, she is now 4lbs. 11 oz. She is also continuing to do well off her oxygen.

Madison's Home Improvement

Today Madison got the top taken off of her home. So far, she has been able to keep her temperature up. They have her in clothes and wrapped up in extra blankets to keep her warm enough. She also has been off of oxygen since about 10:00 am. She is continuing to do well with her bottles too. She drank 25 cc's out of one today. Her weight is up to 4lbs. 7oz.

I added a few more pictures to Snapfish as well.

Food Time

Madison is 4lbs. 3 oz. She is getting fed every two hours right now, and is getting one bottle a day.

She is also close to being able to have the top taken off her bed. This is determined by how well she can keep up her body temperature.

She has also had her oxygen piece changed from the high flow down to the lower flow.

I also added some more pictures to Snapfish today.

Bottle Practice

Madison is 3lbs. 11 oz. She is also starting to practice drinking out of a bottle. Today she drank 6 cc's (milliliters) out of a bottle. It was her third try. Her feedings have gone to 21 cc's every two hours as well. AND, she is also able to wear her own clothes now!

Gaining Fast

Madison's weight is up to 3lbs. 6oz., almost 7oz. She is really starting to gain fast. She was getting fed continuously each hour but is now getting fed every two hours so she can start getting on a feeding schedule. She is doing great!

Feeding Tube

Madison got her feeding tube moved from her mouth to her nose on Sunday because she threw up and the doctors thought it was making her gag.

They also turned down her air flow from 3 liters down to 2 liters.

Today Madison weighed in at 3lbs. 1oz. She has gained 3.5 oz. in the last two days!
