Aaaaaaaaannnnd

Nothing has changed. Lilah continues to take anywhere from 20-30 ml by mouth (just around an ounce) and them hits a wall. We are not sure if it's the reflux, or air in her tummy, or a capacity thing or what! Her total feed is 65 so she has some work ahead of her. The thrush continues to just hang out there on her tongue.

We are just going to give her a little time.

This morning when Alec and I were visiting, I heard the nurse tell Lilah not to grab at the ng tube in her nose and promptly wrapped her up so her arms were swaddled. We both turned away from her for a few seconds and when I turned back, the end of the tube was in her hand, not her stomach. We are going to have our hands full when she finally gets home! This was the first time I have seen her with nothing extra on her face. When she was born, they did not hold her over the curtain far enough so I could see her before they took her away to get cleaned up and check her out. I took a few pictures quickly.

I told her if she kept getting better at the bottle she could have the tube removed permanently. This look is telling me "Yeah mom, but I'm cute so I can do whatever I want!"

Together again!
