Glad to hear that little Anna is doing so well.

Springtime is a lovely time to bring a new baby home.

Thanks for checking back - she's doing well.

Here is today's Anna Update

No weight gain....still at just over 3lbs 14 oz.

She is still totally on bottle, so the feeding tube hasn’t gone back in.

She is a bit inconsistant (like us) in that one feeding she will take 40cc, then the next only 30cc, then the next feeding will be 45cc.....

We are looking for a more significant weight gain tomorrow morning as she has been doing the no gain/big gain thing for a week now....

You can definitely notice her fingers filling out not on a daily basis. You can somewhat see her fingers in the photos attached.

She is off her lung medicine (don’t recall the name of it) that is related to insuring the immature lungs are functioning. Her lungs are doing their job...so no further need.

Thanks Pollywog -
I have very limited access to the net right now. This is the first time since 4/2 that I have even been able to check my email and I am on a library computer in Benton. I do not have any pics posted on the internet anywhere, but I did save some on disc for mailing out to close family and friends. I need a host site and more time to post them, or I can email some to you if you like. If so, FReepmail me your email address.
Take care!
OC

Anna Update 4/20/2004

She is at 3 lbs 15.8 oz.

Now eating between 36 and 46cc per feeding.

IF she can continue today's gain, she could come home as early as this weekend! We are definately praying that this is possible.

She looks wonderful. Just look at how alert she is. Praying she puts the weight on so she can go home with you this weekend. Bet she makes it.

Anna Update 4/21/2004

And yet another day of good news!

Weight: 4 lbs. 1 oz.

Consistently taking 40+ cc. of milk, and half the time taking 50 cc!

She is growing more and more active and aware of her surroundings.

There is a very good chance that she has less than 1 week left in the hospital.

I won't be posting an update tonight - we will be spending the night with Anna in the Hospital and then bringing her home tomorrow!

Of course I will post pictures and such as soon as I can.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and well wishes. They have all helped in so many ways.

Until I can get the next update posted (probably Saturday evening)....

Thanks!

We made it home A-Ok. We arrived home about 12:30PM.

They didn’t weigh her or measure here length before we left. Dr. was thoroughly happy with Anna’s progress.

Was a LONG night last night! Anna decided she wanted to be irritable – so she not only didn’t eat as much as she normally does, she also decided to just be noisy.

She has done much better since then – sleeping and eating. She also rode home VERY well – we hardly heard a peep from her.

Diana is headed to her shower at the church, so I get to baby-sit my own daughter for a few hours! At least Diana’s dad is here to “help out”.
