Ingrid tolerated her 5mL feedings so the doctors decided to giver her 8mL per feeding today. Daddy tried to negotiate for 10mL but we finally agreed to take it slow.
During rounds the doctors made it clear that Ingrid's main focus right now is working up to full feedings (50-60mL at a time).
When pressed her doctor said that if all goes well we could take Ingrid home (to grandma and grandpa's house) in two weeks! The last 3 or 4 days we would spend in the transition unit to prepare Ingrid for discharge.
So now we wait and pray that she continues to tolerate her feedings well. We want to take her home so badly!!
Mike and Kate, How strong you both are! As is Ingrid. It has been amazing to see her grow right before my eyes and to keep up with her progress via your blog. I hope we will be able to see Ingrid in person at grandma and grandpa's home when we are in Cleveland for Emily's wedding. What a thrill that would be!
