Not much has changed this morning. Kirsten is at the hospital as she wanted to try and feed Madeleine at 9AM this morning. I haven't gotten an update yet but the goal is to get her to take as much as possible during each bottle feed. She's still pretty slow with the bottle but I could see a definite improvement in the three days that I was gone.
We're hoping that there won't be too much to update until the end of the weekend. At that point, we'll have a better idea of her progress with feeding and should have clearer timelines concerning when the PIC line will be removed and when she might be ready to come home.
Its really strange to think about Madeleine coming home. Kirsten and I went into the nursery this morning and it really hasn't settled in that Madeleine is going to sleep in the room. Intuitively, we know that she's coming home but the reality just hasn't settled in. It promises to be an exciting but very challenging venture...
That's all for now-- check out the small number of new pictures on Picasa-- http://picasaweb.google.com/brentbushey/. Take care,
Brent

Holy cow! She is absolutely breathtaking! I cannot believe how much she has changed! To look at her in those pictures and know what she's been through - it just doesn't match up! She's so peaceful and round and filled out-she's a miracle baby, for sure! The nursery has been ready for a long time - it's those finishing touches that truly make it a nursery - and she's almost there! We are so very excited for the 3 of you! We'll keep those prayers coming down there to DC as we have for a long time now. Take care - and rest up , cuz that's about to change, too!!
Love you guys, tons and tons and tons!

Look at that double chin! What a little chunker! (For as long as I can remember, my family has called babies with the cute double-chins chunkers).
Home sweet home is on the way!
