I was able to resume nursing with Maggie yesterday. Today's feedings went well and she took 15ml tonight at 8 p.m. She is still taking Lipids and TPN through IV until she's back up to full feeds. The doctors have OK'd an increase in feeding volume twice a day. She is currently at 20ml and will most likely increase again tomorrow. Maggie was at 37ml last Thursday, before the NEC scare. I hope that she'll be off the IV by the weekend and back to full feedings.
Maggie is still in the isolette and I'm sure that she'll be out of it soon enough. She's been maintaining a higher temperature and now that she's put on some extra weight (she actually is starting to look chubby if you can believe it) she'll stay warmer.
No other news to report. She continues to do what she needs to do - eat, sleep, snuggle, etc. It's hard to believe that she's already 4 weeks old tomorrow. The time sure has flown by.
