Ella is now 1 pound 15 ounces and is doing good. Her blood sugar levels are still up and down and they will be running some tests to determine why if her levels go low again. This is one of the things that you deal with when your child is in the NICU the roller coaster ride of preemies. We tried breastfeeding with our little girl today and she did well, her sucking reflex seems to be working well. Her gestational age is actually 35 weeks but her size is still smaller than that. She now has a speech therapist, physical therapist, and occupational therapist that will be working with her each week on her development. Our little girl has lots of specialists : )
Here is a picture of me holding Ella before we tried breastfeeding. Pray for Ella's blood sugar levels, bowels, liver function, and lungs.
