Lot to Learn

Realized today Savannah will be at 25 mL feeds as of Tuesday night!!! Her feeds are up enough now to where they had to switch to the kanagaroo pump that she will be coming home with-so her nurse today was teaching me more about her feeds and I got to change her g tube dressing and start her NJ feeds for the first time. I've got a lot to learn, but so excited to finally be at the stage of learning for prep for home! I've hit my nesting stage and I'm keeping Jon busy!
They will also be able to stop her TPN IV nutrition tomorrow since she will be getting fed enough through formula. The plan is to take her off antibiotics next week as well as long as her WBC count and the small pockets of fluid in her belly remain the same.
They did a repeat echo of her heart just for follow up today, but not suspecting any changes due to her blood pressures still being okay.  
She's getting so fat and its so good to see her finally acting like an active newborn.
