Madeliene continues to do well and is nearing full feeds. By tomorrow afternoon she should reach her full feed potential. She's also slowly improving with bottle feeding-- she took 20cc's of the 28 she's supposed to get this morning. I met with the physical therapist this morning and she's happy with Madeleine's progress. She told us that its going to take a while until she consistently takes all feeds from a bottle so we shouldn't get too frustrated. It helps to hear that from the therapist as part of me expects her to just start bottle feeding all the time.
In any case, that's about all of the changes for right now. Tonight is bath and weigh night so we should have some good pictures and we also hope to report that madeliene has put on more weight. We're aiming to break the 2 kg limit (4lbs 6.5 oz.)
That's all on our front. We'll continue feeding her throughout the weekend and hope to learn more early next week about the potential for surgery. Take care,
Brent
