Abby is doing well. Lasts nights visit was good and Abby's nurse was one of my old nursing students. She was amazing and moved Abby's feeding tube to her nose. Abby's little mouth is so cute now that she has her tube out. She weighs 3lbs 5 oz today and her feeding have been increased to 30ml/hr. Her caffeine and protein has also been increased as she has gained weight.
Speech therapy visited today and introduced the bottle to Abby. She evaluated her swallow and monitored her vitals signs. I wasn't there for the evaluation but got to visit with Sarah the speech therapist. We scheduled a time on Friday to try her first bottle feed. Looking forward to it.
