We are thrilled that today Emmy's PICC line came out, so no more IV! Once the feeding tube comes out again, then she'll only be "tied" to wires that are external monitors. She gained weight again and is now 2 lbs 14 oz. Look out, we'll soon have a 3 lb baby on our hands! She's now getting two bottle feedings in a row, then a tube feeding, and she seems to be handling this change well.
"Aunt" Sarah came from Atlanta to visit today. She brought an adorable cross-stitch that she did for Emmy's nursery that has her name, birth date, weight, and length on it. I can't wait to hang it up! We had lunch together, then headed over to the hospital. They let me hold Emmy for a little while since the feeding schedule change meant 3 p.m. was a tube feeding. I'd forgotten my camera, so Sarah took a few photos, including Emmy's "philosophical pose" you see here. Too funny. Thanks for coming to town, Sarah!
We are so excited that our dear friends Lucas and Lisa welcomed baby William Cameron this afternoon. Congratulations you two! We can't wait for Will and Emmy to meet.
YAY!!! When can I come and visit? I'm off every Friday...
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad Pickle is doing so well!!!! It is truly great to have the PICC line out and they should leave the feeding tube in to be sure she doesn't need a supplemental feeding every now and then. You don't want them to have to torture her a third time with that thing! I am so happy I set up a Google friends account to follow this blog. You'll have to tell Pickle how important she is someday. I assure you, I wouldn't do this for just anyone!!!!! Love to you, Charles, Pickle, and of course Ragsie Poo. We hope to see you all soon, Cathy and Raf
