One ounce!

Sydney's feedings have now been increased to 32ccs and she's doing really well. The doc also started her on multivitamins to help build up her immune system and get her ready to come home. :cry: Preemies are 10-20 times more susceptible to infection and illness than full term infants so we're doing all we can to get and keep her strong.

The therapist worked with her today and she was able to handle 5ccs of milk that was fed to her slowly, through a syringe. She digested it all but she was not in the mood to ingest anymore than that. :laugh: Tomorrow, we will try her with a little more and keep increasing it each time until we can get her feeding tube removed.

She's in a great mood today too and smiling at everyone body who even glances at her. :love:
