We are still making progress. This morning around 3 am, we went up to feed Addison, and the nurse said we could feed her on our own schedule, meaning as long as she wanted to eat, we could feed her. However, the doctor said today that he might want to put her on a feeding tube again because he doesn't think the feedings are going very well. So, a few mixed messages later, and Rach is back to feeding her every three hours. A little side note: Doctors are smart, but they often forget to use manners and interrupt people when they talk. If you ever go to the hospital, make sure they treat you as a patient, not as a number. I wanted to smack our doc today, but we are making progress.
The good news is that Addison doesn't need the breathing tube any longer, and her umbilical cord fell off today. The little anti-theft device was connected to the umbilical cord, so we had to call in the infantry for temporary backup support to make sure no one kidnapped Addison before they provided the ankle bracelet for protection. So, we're still taking things one day at a time. As long as Addison doesn't backtrack on her progress, they say we can probably take her home on the 20th!
If you haven't come to visit, we'd love to see you. Rach and I have been discharged from the hospital, so when you get here, just find the "Special Care Nursery" on the 6th floor and tell them you are there for Addison, Rachel and Wes. If we aren't in the nursery, they will call us. We're probably just around the corner.
