Working on Gettin' Chunky
Savannah Grace is doing well. Docs/surgeon have decided to up her feeds every 12 hours now instead of once every 24 hrs since she's getting bigger. She is getting 13 mL/hour as of 8 tonight and her goal is to get to 25 mL. Once she reaches that and her goal weight of 4500 to 5000 grams (9.5-11 lbs.) she will become a candidate for her GJ tube. Her intestines have to be so big to house the tubing for the GJ. She is currently still on 1L of oxygen at 21% (the percent of air we breathe) due to her laziness when she sleeps...she gets too comfy and slows down her breathing. I'm guessing right now it looks like she will come home on oxygen, but that's up to her and the good Lord
. We are incredibly thankful and owe it all to God that we can actually be talking about bringing that sweet girl home someday.

Little miss weighs 9 lbs., 11 oz. tonight. Docs told me today I wasn't being unrealistic at all by thinking she could be home in a couple of months...as long as she doesn't have anymore surprises in store for us! So exciting!
