Isabelle is improving! The doctors say they're very impressed... We started giving her 10 mL of breastmilk every 6 hours... And have moved slowly but surely up to 20 mL every 4 hours! She weighs 4 lbs 4.4 oz now. The doctors have been discussing taking out her PICC line! She's having spontaneous stools (stools without having an enema) and we couldn't be happier. We've been here for 2 weeks now, and it's starting to really take its toll on me. I've even been accidently referring to this place as "home"... Don't get me wrong, the nurses are wonderful and the atmosphere is great. They do a lot to ensure your comfort. But the fact is, this isn't where I want to be. I'm not happy here and I can't wait until I get to take Isabelle home.
It is what it is though, and we've been absolutely blessed. My two favorite quotes have been keeping my head up lately...
"This too shall pass" & "you are equal to today's challenge"
