1 Day Old

Some of you may wonder if I have fallen off of my rocker with a title like that. But since she was so premature, her corrected age is 1 day old since yesterday was Suzanne's due date. So now she is "officially" supposed to be here. Her real age is 15 weeks, but since she isn’t the same as a baby born on the same day that was full term, we have to have an adjusted age. She is still having difficulty taking full feedings by mouth. Once she can take all of her feedings by mouth with no NG feedings for 24-48 hours, we will then be considered to go home. Every time she has to use the NG tube, then basically we start all over. She has yet to even have close to a full day of oral feedings, but each day she does take a little more and does get a little better. I would love to tell you that by the end of next week that we’ll be out of here, but I can’t guarantee anything. We are playing by McKenna’s rules because she is definitely the boss here. Enjoy your week, spring is almost here.
