I don't have time for a lengthy update, but they discharged her yesterday! Tuesday I went to the hospital and said I was going to take over all her feedings. They set me up with a room in Pediatrics, and I stayed with her there and did everything. By Wed she was improving and gaining weight. Thursday she gained more, and there was really no more reason for us to be there. We will have to do weekly weight checks for a little while to make sure she is still gaining, and I have to keep a food journal to track everything she eats. But that's no big deal as long as she's with us.
So now we are FINALLY all home. Thank you for all the prayers! Please continue to pray that she eats and gains!

Isn't it awesome to finally hold YOUR baby at home, it is so much more peaceful than managing in the NICU, with all of the noise and chaos. I always felt like they were finally MY baby when we got home, until then, I had to "share" my baby with so many others, and while their intentions were good, it was so hard.
God Bless you all!!!!
