Almost there.

Things are looking great. I called and talked to Skyler's nurse today, the same one from our visit the other night. She was 4lb 0.5oz last night, which is great! That's like 2oz in one day. She mentioned that (since the drs. hadn't made rounds yet) she would talk to the dr. about moving Skyler to demand feedings. Basically, instead of waking her up and feeding her on a schedule, they will let her wake herself up and tell them she is hungry. She said this morning Skyler woke up a bit early for her feeding and was making it known that she was ready, haha. Unfortenately she has a diaper rash right now, poor girl. The nurse thinks it might be her formula, and will talk to the dr. about moving her back down to 22calorie in hopes it will help. (She thinks the 24calorie might be too rich). She advised that we try to get some of our discharge teaching done when we visit tomorrow, so there is less to do on discharge day. What?! That makes it so much more real. We are very excited now, just keeping our fingers crossed that there aren't any setbacks. The nurse said she lowered her bed temp, and it sounded like open crib was coming up today or tomorrow. Woohoo! Tonight is measurement night, so we will know how long she is now (a bit over 16" last week). So far, so good. Keep it up Skyler!
