Better and Better
That's how Emma is doing! :)
I wasn't able to speak with the neonatologists today about her xray (because they were busy with some very sick babies who just arrived in the NICU), but it must have looked good because her antibiotics have been discontinued and she's been restarted on breastmilk (a tiny amount - 3 cc every 3 hours, but it's a start). The docs will reassess her tomorrow and may gradually start increasing the amount she receives then.
Emma was off CPAP and on nasal canula (with only a very tiny bit of oxygen) for 10 hours today. The team is very impressed with how well she is doing, and we couldn't be happier with her progress.

Wow!!! I hope this sounds right, but I like the idea of the docs needing to tend to the sicker babies...very good news for Emma!
This is so wonderful, I can read the sense of elation in your update. Just the boost I needed to start my day - thank you Emma.
How far you have come! It is wonderful to be reading such positive updates. I went back and was looking at the photos and blogs from the first week. Hopefully soon Emma will be home with her family.
