Progress

Today Audra made a lot of good progress! She got her chest tube out. She is off her breathing tube (the kind grandmas and grandpas sometimes have) and breathing normal air. Her feedings with her feeding tube are increasing in amount and we are looking towards moving from a continuous feed to larger amounts of milk spaced apart. This is the next step towards oral feedings :) So far, so good for Baby Audra!

On a down note, we are getting kicked out of the In-house Ronald McDonald House and there is no room across the street at the real House. The In-house is supposed to only be short term and the real House across the street is for longer stays. We have not made it off the wait list in a week. So we have decided that I will stay in the room with Audra and my husband will travel back home. He is going back to work next week so this will be a good transition, I guess. If this doesn't work out we will get a hotel close by. We shall see.

We are looking forward to Audra's echo in the morning in a nervous way. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She is so strong and courageous!
