Today's visit was a special blessing - we got to hold Anna! She has been weaned off of oxygen supplement and thus is breathing room air.
The only tubes still in are her gastric tube and her IV.
First feeding (Pedialyte) was at 6 PM today. Will gradually start breast milk (via gastric tube) tomorrow.
She was weighed for the first time since birth today - 3 lbs 4 oz. A normal loss that should rapidly be regained. The medical staff are very impressed with her progress.
Bilirubin levels are down to 8.6 and steadily declining - also good news.
Best of all - we got to hold her! Didn't last long, but sure was wonderful!
Thanks again to all those praying for Anna. The prayers are obviously working! Praise God!
