As I'm sure you're aware from FB, Delaney SHOULD get to come home today. The decision was made yesterday to lower her feedings and give her an "at least" amount she had to take. She had been getting 58mL and would never finish it so the rest would go in her feeding tube. As of yday, they lowered it to 43mL but she had to take at least that by bottle (on average) throughout the day and night. So, she could take a little less one time and a little more the next and it would still average out. As of last night after her 8pm feeding she was on track but I'm not sure yet how overnight/this morning went.
After 9 days in the NICU, we are more than ready to have our sweet girl home with us. Please send a little T&P our way that the doctor will decide she's ready during his round this morning. I don't think I can handle another second without her.

I REALLY hope she gets to come home! It's time for her to be with her family.
