It was a busy and eventful weekend for Rory!
The surgeons and the neonatal doctors were in conflict on how to proceed with Rory's care. The surgeons did not want to move up on her milk intake and the doctors did. Since they could not agree the doctors suggested that we try nursing and see how Rory does. The surgeons agreed thinking that she would not take more than the 25 to 30ml they had approved... After this morning's 8 o'clock feeding of almost 80ml the surgeons finally caved and said she could have as much as she wanted :-) Since she is now eating as much as she wants she was able to come off her pic line as well!!!
It was a great weekend for her and because of her incredible progress the doctors are discussing her going home sometime early this week!
Thank you for your prayers, they are definitely working!
WOW! Praise the LORD!

HOME, at less than 3 weeks! Will be praying hard for your little Princess that there will be no setbacks and Rory will continue to amaze and surprise.
She is a fighter, just like her big brother!
OMG I'm so happy for all of you! Rory is definitely quite the feisty little girl. And hey, she's got people around her little finger at just under three weeks old. I pray that everything goes well and Rory becomes a symbol that these things can happen when people pray.
ReplyDeleteThat is great Jordyn! How is she taking to nursing? And I am interested to find out how they measure while nursing too!
