A room with a view

Yes we are still in the NICU, no 4th floor vacancy. But we did change rooms, now we have a room with a view, okay so it's of the parking lot but we have windows and natural light. I don't know if Ceilidh appreciates the new room but I sure do. Tomorrow will be Good Friday and it will be three weeks since Ceilidh was born and that we are at CHEO. How quickly time flies. The question of course is will we be home in time for Easter...the answer maybe. Since last post we have changed the method of feeding. Feeding tube is out the window. Actually little Miss C did the honors by pulling it out herself. The other thing that is out the window is feeding every three hours. We are trying this radical approach it's called breast feeding when she wants and how much she wants. I know shocker! The other method of bf, bottle, and then feeding tube was very labour intensive and not realistic as to what we would experience once we bring her home. Although she did gain weight, which is what the doctors wanted.

But now Ceilidh has proved that she knows how to bf and can do it quite well, so the action plan is for the next 48 hours see how she does ie gains weight and if she does well then she can go home. And if she doesn't do well then it might be a combination of bottle/bf we will cross that bridge in 48 hours. But everyone is delighted on her progress, she truly has come along way in three weeks.
