The Fairy and the Mermaid

Everyone had a wonderful day.

Hazel was not as fussy. She slept the majority of the day, only having one brady. Most of her feedings today were full bottles. Only a couple had to be given through her feeding tube. The physical therapist showed us a different way to feed Hazel that helps with her bradys, coordination, and reflux. She prefers this way and is excelling! In the near future she will be moved to ad-lib feedings. This means she will receive food when she wants it. She will also be given all she can eat. Her weight today is 4 lbs. 5.5 oz.

Cora is receiving ad-lib feedings! Her feeding at 9:00 was her first one. She drank 50 ml! At her 3:00 feeding today she drank her bottle in a couple of minutes. At 5:30, she was still awake and trying to eat. She even tried to eat one of the nurse's shirt. We feed her a little snack, 10 ml. This did not appease her for very long. The decision was then made for ad-lib feedings. Her weight today is 4 lbs. 13.5 oz.
