Update

Since I have no recent pictures of Madeleine, here's one of her patron saints instead!

Daddy and I visited Punkin last night and she was sleeping very soundly, making exercise now and then, but just resting and growing. This morning I called to check on her and the big news is that she pooped 3 TIMES in the night. Holy mackerel.

The funny part is...these 3 poops are now earing her 3 ml of milk...up from her 1 ml! With the increase of food, they'll decrease her TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition). They've also stopped checking her blood so frequently and only do it once a day now which means less needles in the foot and she gets to keep more of her blood. She's only got so much you know!

Her last head ultrasound looked "unchanged" from previous ones which is good. Her ventricles are the same size meaning they're not swelling as the clot from her original bleed breaks up and gets reabsorbed in her body. Her last chest x-ray also showed her lungs being a little more uniform...even though they're still very premature.

Tomorrow, she'll be 1 month old...we will be celebrating that for sure...even though we celebrate everyday we get with her!
