Gaining Again!

After three straight weigh-ins (a week and a half) at the exact same weight (ugh) we have a weight gain! Yay! It feels like we may finally have this eating thing figured out for the moment. It is a relief and we hope that this gain continues! Our nurse told me not to weigh her this weekend to keep the pressure off. We shall see about that ;)

Audra is doing much better with a bottle as we have stepped up our efforts to give her a bottle on a regular schedule. We are hoping that she will be able to take the entire amount she needs to get per feed from the bottle. Then we could get rid of her feeding tube for good - hopefully sooner rather than later. Audra likes to pull out her feeding tube. She is so quick! She has done it twice now and putting it back in is routine. We just have to remind ourselves that this is only short term.

Today the family enjoyed the weather (before the storm) and went for a nice walk. Audra enjoyed the fresh air and our older daughter enjoyed picking up sticks as usual :)

And we still have to say thank you for your continued support. We cannot say enough how much your kind words and actions help!
