Homecoming is coming

Abigail continues to be amazing. She is at 5 pounds, 2 ounces and looking good. She will be at full feeds tomorrow (Monday) and then getting fortification in the milk later in the week.

If she continues to tolerate the feeds as well as she has been, she will get her PICC line removed sometime this week. At that point, there will really be nothing left keeping her in the hospital.

In other words, she could be heading home as soon as this weekend. Next week is more likely, but we're probably talking two weeks max unless some other problem pops up.

She's still on slight oxygen, but they will continue to try to wean her this week. She can come home on oxygen, but it will be much more convenient if she's breathing on her own.

We're busy making final arrangements for Abby's homecoming, especially babysitting. If you're in the Columbus area and available from 2-7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and would be interested in looking after a very cute and happy little girl, let us know.
