A couple of days ago, Mattigan got her feeding tube out. She eats most of her feeds. She finished her whole bottle for Mama and yesterday she ate the whole thing for Daddy. Yay!
On Sunday we started Matti's 2 month immunizations. She got a couple as combos so instead of 5 there were 3. Once again things are different in premie land. So she got one shot every twelve hours to make sure she had no bad reactions such as: respiratory distress, fever, allergic reaction, etc. She yelled like a very angry banshee for a couple moments then settled in with her paci. So the only reactions she's shown have been tiredness and a difference in hunger. She spit up a bunch after one shot and today she is sleepy so she didn't finish her feed. Sooo she has her feeding tube again. Only for today we hope as she recovers from her shots. I guess you'd call this mixed news but we'll take the progress.
For some good new... Matti passed her hearing exam!
Annnnd she had an echo done with good results. I have to get the specific results today but that was nice to know in general that everything was 'good'.
Thursday she gets her third vision test. So far so good. We hope her blood vessels have "matured" so we can do the next eye exam in six months instead of every two weeks.
Matti is now 5# 2oz. She had gone up just a bit higher but lost 20 grams yesterday cause of being tired out from her shots and not eating enough. It's quite the balancing act.
So we are getting close to going home. We don't know when exactly and don't want to curse it but within the next week or so. Keep your fingers crossed!
