We have a target date

Assuming things continue as they have been, Abigail is scheduled to be discharged from Children's Hospital on Tuesday -- two days before her due date! For a baby born at 24 weeks, going home anywhere near due date truly is amazing and a miracle.

Abby has been doing wonderfully this week. She's been switched to on-demand feeding, and she is taking up to 60 mLs every three hours or so, which is a rather impressive amount for her age and size. If feeding continues to go well and there are no other problems, Tuesday's discharge should actually happen.

This, of course, means Katrina and I continue to make arrangements for her homecoming. It sounds like she will be coming home on oxygen, so we are making arrangements for that in the next few days. On the bright side, that means she'll still be on a monitor. That will help us not be paranoid about her, especially at night.
