Sleepy Baby
Not much to report today as Emma spent much of it sleeping.
Her hemoglobin remains low, so Eric will be making another blood donation tomorrow (he and Emma share the same blood type and he is able to directly donate blood for her) in the event that she needs another blood transfusion. There is still some concern that Emma may be developing an infection, but, for now, the team is just watching her closely as she doesn't show any other signs of being sick (apart from being more lethargic). The general consensus today was that Emma is simply exhausted from her Herculian efforts at bottle-feeding yesterday. She likely just did too much, too soon and now needs time to recuperate. Today, she took only part of one of her feeds by bottle (the rest through her NG tube). We hope that by letting her rest and recover today, she'll feel better tomorrow.
Rest well and grow strong, little one....

May I echo your last line, it's so perfect: Rest well and grow strong, little one....
And I have to say - I keep coming back to the bath picture. It's so priceless!
I'm glad She is doing well and I'm hoping too it was just all that feeding yesterday. She's just too cute...Have I mentioned that lately?
Hugs Little Emma lets have a good day tomorrow.
My blood type is O positive, so let me know if I can offer any help. I'm long overdue for a donation...
