Nov 26

Well, it's official. We are home! Olivia still has the feeding tube in, so last night and today we spent figuring out the best system. We don't have a pump like the hospital used, so we are doing it by hand using a syringe to push into the feeding tube.

The nicu told us to only have 6 people hold Olivia and everyone else can WASH hands and just look! They recommend this for the next two months since she is/was a nicu baby.

She had her first well child check with our local doctor to watch her growth and give shots/ immunizations.

There literally is no sleeping anymore. With the feeding tube time there ends up being about 1.5hrs between feeds left since we feed every 3 hrs. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hrs to feed her each time. I'll let you do the math.


Leaving!

  1. Oh my goodness.. that is a rough feeding schedule. So happy that she's doing so well though. Her tiny little belly will grow fast, hang in there! At least y'all are out of the hospital, I don't know how anyone ever recovers from anything at those places. Home is best. :-D
