Learning together

Caroline is 6.15. She is getting continuous feeds on her pump at night from 8p-8a. This is equal to four bottles. In the day time the doctor ordered 3 bottles feeds. Caroline is telling us she wants more milk from her bottle. She has added two bottle feeds and is increasing her milk from 16 oz to 17 oz. in a 24 hour time period. We are excited because she is telling us and showing us she is hungry for milk from a bottle!!!The challenging part is deciding how to give her the rest of her milk. She can only take about 15 cc at a time through her tube with a syringe. If it is more than that we have to put it through her pump slowly. So all of this is time consuming and making the best decision for what we have planned at the moment.
I want to say hello to all of our visitors and supporters who check on us daily. Many of you I do not know but I appreciate your interest in our family and all the prayers you may offer up on our behalf. Cameron and I took Carley to Sesame Live yesterday. It was a good time. I also scrapbooked last night for about 5 hours. Cameron went fishing for a couple of hours too. We had a fun day and were able to get away. Caroline has been home alot and will continue to bed home when we have extra hands. It is easier and safer for her at this time. We welcome visitors with open arms as we are home bound more often. Thanks be to God for a positive MRI and many positive tests while we were in the hospital.
