The past couple of weeks have been a roller coaster in regards to her feedings- will she be awake? Will she be interested? Will she have the stamina to nurse for long enough? Will she ever go home??? So on Friday her nurse Libby thought that trying her feedings ad lib, on her own schedule, might be what she needs to get this feeding piece down. A new neonatologist started on Monday and he, along with the nurse practitioner over Claire, agreed with the plan so we cut off her NG feedings. I didn't feel that things were going all that great since she was just barely meeting her minimum intake (half of what she was taking before) and her weight was down several ounces, but after rounds the Dr and NP told me that if things kept going the way they were we would be taking her home this weekend. Shit. Really? This weekend, as in 2 days away??? Claire, you've got some eating to do!
