Ella is now bottle feeding every other feeding and takes the whole amount some of the time and other times takes about half. She lost 20 grams last night but it is expected because of the increase in bottle feedings which use more calories than tube feedings. They are weaning her off the IV fluids and hopefully by the end of the week she will be off the glucose and holding her sugar levels steady. (pray for her glucose levels to stabilize on their own) If she is stable without the IV fluids they will remove the broviac IV which has made a sore on her chest(possibly from friction because she was sooo small when they put it in) and it's time for it to go.
Overall, our little princess is doing well and every day brings us closer to home. Pray for her continued weight gain and overall good health.
