Amelia Update

luckycooky

Amelia is up to 3 lbs 7 oz.  She is doing amazing.  She smiled at me for the first time the other day and is definitely showing her personality.  Because the request for updates has been a little overwhelming, we have created a Caring Bridge site with photos and updates.  It is password protected so if you would like the link and password, please PM me.  Sorry for the hassle but just not crazy about lurky lou having access to some of the pics and details of her treatment.

Evicted, no.  But she will be moving to a hospital closer to home soon.  We are thinking by the end of next week.  That will be huge because instead of 30-45 min. drive each way, she will be about 5-10 min. away.

So glad to hear she's doing so well and will be moving locally very soon. Have they given you guys an estimated time frame of when they think she might be ready to go home?

I'm really glad she's doing so well!! She's getting big fast! She gets to go home around 4-5lbs, right??

She will need to be at least 5lbs because that is the min. weight for most standard car seats.  She will have to pass the car seat test (sit for an hour in seat and maintain breathing levels) and she will have to learn to drink from a bottle.  She is practicing with her pacifier and that is going very well so hopefully the bottle won't be too hard.  I think she has to be able to consistantly drink 2 oz from the bottle if I remember the amount correctly. 

Rich is really hoping she comes home by Father's Day and it looks like that may be a possibility (6/20).

So glad she is doing well Lucky -- I'm sure it will be much easier on all of you when she's moved to the closer hospital.  Hopefully its only a few more weeks and you'll have her home.
