45 Days
Bella has come so far. The doctor says the most important thing now is weight gain. For several days they've been making adjustments to her feedings to determine the right number of calories for her. We have several sources of nutrients to work with...breast milk (that T has been working so hard to make!), 30 calorie formula, 24, calorie formula, and vitamin and nutrient supplements. They will watch her weight daily and adjust her food until she starts making good daily weight gains. Obviously her lungs are still very sick too. She has not been handling touch very well this week. Her sats have been dropping significantly during hands on care and not rebounding for several hours. This is likely a sign that her lungs are extremely sensative. Overall, Bella is doing very well. We are so thankful for the daily blessings we receive.
