Food!

Today, the doctor came by and said that he thought Madeleine was doing well and she has been quite stable for some time. He seemed pleased, and didn't have any BAD news, which is good for my mental state! She got her blood pressure wire taken off today since that has been in there for 10 days...so they'll check that manually from now on.

The best news today was that they are going to start feeding her breast milk tomorrow...but they have to watch her carefully to make sure she can tolerate it. Her nurse said that the milk will awaken her system to process it since that what it does naturally. We're hoping that goes well because the milk will coat her stomach and it's the easiest thing for her to digest...way better than formula.

Tomorrow she also gets to lay on her belly for a little while...all these little things are so exciting (and nerve wracking at the same time). Her mom is a little exhausted today and fell asleep in the chair only to wake up to a doctor saying, "Mrs Walter?"
