The Crossroads

We had a rough feeding last night at 8:30, but I think that is because Macey was not hungry yet.  We had to go back at 11:30 because mom would not sleep without knowing Macey was ok.  She did better last night, but was wide awake.  Dad wimped out at 12:30 and went to bed, but mom stayed until 1:45.  
They tried to get another IV into her at 6 AM today, but they couldn't get it in, so she is now off of IV.  This means that she really has to eat well today to keep her weight up.  She was 5 lbs. 13 oz. last night.
This morning she ate 45 mL, which is not only the most she ever has had, but also the maximum she is currently allowed to have.  She is a strong girl and a fighter.  It looks like we are going to move the feedings to 3.5 to 4 hours just to make sure she is hungry.
Today is a big day for Macey, so please pray that she will keep improving.

You go girl! We're so proud of you, and we're cheering you on!
It wasn't so long ago we were cheering Owen on, willing him to eat well so he could go home, and look at him now. He rocks. I know Macey is another strong one. She is a beautiful baby, Mom looks great, and way to go, Dad, posting pics and videos and keeping us informed. God bless you all--Love, Lotti (and John)
