Reese spent her 6th day in the NICU today. We are missing her VERY badly tonight but it helps that she had a great day today! She even gained an ounce-She weighs 5lbs 10ozs!
She started feeding from a bottle!!! YAY!
* At her 9am feeding she ate 50mil. in 12 minutes :)
* Daddy gave her the 12pm bottle and she ate 1/2 then got tired so the rest went through the feeding tube.
* I went back up at her 3pm feeding and we practiced nursing. She did good and will do better as she gets stronger. She had 30mils in the bottle but got tired so she had to finish through the feeding tube.
It's a lot of work for her to feed/nurse and breathe at the same time. But she is doing so good and will continue to get better at it! We are so proud of our little Reesey :) She will be home in no time!
THIS JUST IN: Matt just called to get an update from Reese's nurse. At her 9pm feeding she ate the WHOLE bottle in 9 minutes without getting tired! The nurse told Matt that she is doing so good and should be off of the oxygen soon and home in a couple days :)
