Quick update-- Madeleine did very well this weekend but just missed the 2 kilo goal we set for her. As of Sunday night, she weighed 1965 grams (4 lbs 6 oz) but she's doing very well as she's on full feeds. At this point, the only other medicines she is getting is laseks once/day and Zantac to help reduce stomach reflux. Both of these medicines are mixed in with her milk as she is not getting anything intravenously.
With all of this good news in place, we were very pleased to learn today that Madeleine's re-attachment surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday, June 4th. This is expected to be Madeleine's last surgery and we're very excited by the timing. As always, we know that lots of factors can change in the next week but, right now, we're fairly confident that she'll have the final surgery and will be on target for a potential release from the hospital in late June/early July.
That's all-- we hope you enjoyed the Memorial weedend. The weather was great here in DC and Kirsten and I really enjoyed a chance to get outside and relax.
Take care,
Kirsten and Brent
