Less than a week to go!

Rachel is now 2860 grams as of her weigh-in last night, which is about 6 lbs 5oz. She's had a few apnea events the last couple days which has delayed her coming home schedule. The doctors have upped her oxygen to 1/4 liter and she seems to be doing better. They've also stopped her caffene to prep her for coming home. At this point they are thinking possibly late this week, Thursday-Saturday timeframe to release her, but that is still subject to breathing events. She's taking 55ml of milk at her feeds which are still every 3 hours, and they've put 22 calories in each feed. Probably around Wednesday they will give her the car seat test to make sure she doesn't have any events in it for at least an hour.

Enjoy this pics from tonights feeding, she feels like a regular sized baby now!

Love Rob and Jen

    Today is the day we have all been praying for, Rachel. You are going home! Your Mom and Dad have been remarkable through this whole ordeal. You certainly chose the right people to get you to this point...good job! You don't know yet how much you are loved, but one day you will. Love, Grandma Lynn xoxo
