Today Lillian is 10 days old! I showed up at 8:30 this morning and she was wide awake looking around. I attmepted to nurse her 4 times today and 3 out of the 4 were successful! I attended Dr. rounds with Lillian today and the team is very impressed with her progress yet still no idea as to when we get to take her home. The Dr. thinks her bilirubin may be increasing slightly and he plans to check it with morning labs.
The kids are staying at grandma's house again because I need to be at the hospital for at least four of Lillians' feedings. This coming up weekend I may be staying the entire night with Lillian to see how well she nurses throughout the night.
I am also going to talk with the Dr. in the morning about stopping her tube feedings for about 6 hours, allowing Lillian to get hungry and nurse more.
Lillian was taken off oxygen at 4:30 pm today and when I talked with her nurse at 9:30 pm she was still doing great!
