baby update

So tonight I am blogging from our "boarding" room from the hospital. I will be sleeping her until June can come home so I dont have to drive back and forth every couple of hours. June is doing so good! Today we are doing 2 out of 3 feedings. The third is a gavage feeding through the feeding tube. Every gavage feeding June gets way mad about an hour later because she wants more food and wants to nurse. So they have finally upped the amount she gets. She is getting tested on how well she can keep her temp on her own and then she gets to sleep in an open crib. Today she was able to get out from under the jaundice lights which she has been under the last few days. She also got her PIC line out. (it is a type of IV) So she is really close to be able to come home. Today is the trial run on feedings and keeping her temp. She will be released when she can handle all her feedings from me or a bottle. (she still hasn't tried a bottle yet) If she does well tonight on her feedings tomorrow they will up them. So lets cross our fingers she will do well and she can come home in a couple days!
