News from the intermediate

Yesterday, Kevin got to the hospital before I did and he was talking to the nurse about Christianna. The nurse said that she was on day 6 of her 7 day count down. Kevin said are you sure? So the nurse went and looked at the chart to make sure she was right, and low and behold she was! We missed that memo somewhere down the line. Today will be her day 7. Providing everything goes well today and next week, Christianna will be home by next weekend. She is also off her wedge. They took her off of it yesterday. As of last night, they have upped Christianna's feeds to 29 ml and she is taking all of her feeds by bottle and whats better is she is DOING REALLY GOOD. The last time they changed her feeds a few ml, was when they put her on her mountain (wedge).

Next she has a carseat test. The carseat test is when a baby sits in her/his seat for 90 minutes and keep her/his oxygen levels above 84. If for some reason, she doesn't she will go home in a carbed. It's a carseat that lays down.

This whole thing was such a shock to us. We had no clue that she was even on a count down, none the least on day 6 (almost done). This is happy, exciting time, but also scary. We needs lots of prayers as Christianna finishes her last few stages of hosptial stay and as we prepare for her home coming!
