Maggie is our sweet angel! She continues to do just great. At our visit today, Maggie was back under the lights. It's normal for preemies to be on one day, off another, back on the next.
Maggie's feedings have increased again today to 23ml per feeding. As long as she tolerates her feedings, the doctors will continue to increase how much she gets. This is good because as her feedings increase, her need for TPN (the nourishment she gets through IV) goes down.
We did kangaroo care again today. Maggie had the hiccups, which were so darn cute.
We can't believe how fast this week has passed. If the next few weeks go as fast as this week, she'll be home before we know it.
In the meantime, Jeff is going to start work on the nursery this weekend. Maggie won't be moving into her new room right away, she'll be sleeping in the travelling bassinet in our room. The bassinet is very special to the Christenson family, more than 40 babies have slept in there since Jeff's brother Chris was born (40 years ago - he was the first). It has travelled around among relatives, so Maggie will be joining the long list of babies to have slept in the bassinet. Jeff, his brothers, cousins, Cece and all of Maggie's Christenson cousins have slept in it.
Thanks to everyone for their kind words, thoughts and prayers. We are so blessed.
Bridget, Jeff, Cece and Maggie
