Hope's 13th Day

Today, Hope gained some more weight. She is up to 5lb 3oz. She is getting so big. It is hard for us to realize the weight gain but others notice that have not seen her everyday. Her feedings continue to improve. She is getting her 44ml over 1.5 hours now. It seems so long ago when she was getting 1ml per hour. Everyone seems to be very pleased with her progress.

We have a conference with the doctor on Monday. The doctor meets with all parents after they have been in for 2 weeks. We don't know what they will tell us.

We are still overwhelmed with the continued support. We are closing in on one month on Friday. The last month has been a blur with many ups and downs. We often look at others in the NICU and wonder how they survive without the support that we have had! You look at the single moms, the low income families, and the people that live out of town and you realize how lucky you are.
