Day 102

Sydney is doing great! They have started doing all her final testing to prepare her for discharge and so far, so good. Her EKG this morning showed no problems and the cardiologist gave her a clean bill of health. We're at about 22 ccs of flow for oxygen, so it's getting closer to where we were last week.

The doctors also instructed that she be fed 2 bottles in a row and then every third one by tube, just to pace her and not stress her too much. They did say though, that if she was awake and alert, we should try the bottle at the third feeling and see how she does. So far, she wakes up before every feeding and is taking all bottles! We have not had to use the tube at all today. She's now also up to 60ccs per feed - two full ounces!

Her weight is the same as it was yesterday and for once everyone is happy about that because of the huge gains the past few days.

The doctor said we should be prepared to take her home this weekend...
