Nora wakes up to eat and seems to just quietly take in the action. She is eating a lot now (up to 40 ml per meal), but not all of it from her bottle. What she doesn't have the energy to drink herself, we give her through her feeding tube. Eventually, she will get strong enough to stay awake long enough to take her entire feeding without the tube. Then it will be time to go home!
Nora took her first trip out of her NICU room tonight. She had a MRI test done to get a closer look at her brain. Dr. Fain, the pediatric neurologist, is going to take a look at the test results and give us a better explaination as to what may be going on. He met with Andy today and was very pleased with how Nora was progressing so far in the NICU.
Hi Amy & Andy,
ReplyDeleteAunt Mary here, I just wanted to say that Nora Elizabeth is so beautiful and you are so blessed to have her, she will bring you great joy as she progresses. I think a lot of people have been praying for her and I have been praying for God to make her perfect the way He wants her to be and I think He did, I think she will astound and surprise you as she continues to grow and progress. Keep the faith and know that God is good as you love and care for little Nora. Love, Aunt Mary
