Yesterday, the nurses adjusted the plan of action for Ella's feedings. She moved to a 4-hour feeding schedule instead of 3. This allows Ella to be more awake and alert for her bottles and so far (knock on wood), it's been going great! She has taken 5 of her last 6 feedings by bottle safely. Her new feedings are a little bit lower in volume, but allows her to still maintain her weight. No more thanksgiving dinner for Ella every 3 hours. We really think this might be what it takes for her to come home.
I need to pinch myself...
Congratulations Stephanie! I look forward to hearing Ella's progress every time I log on.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news and I have knocked on some wood for you.
I will continue to pray for all of you.
Happy Birthday Ella!

Hurrah!!!! The 4 hour interval sounds like a winner, & easier to maintain at home, besides. Nana
