The plan- if weather allows- is still to make it home on Thursday. Hannah is about 8 hours into a slow continuous feed, and so far, so good. We will continue slowly increasing overnight and be at goal for a continuous feed by morning. While this is far from goal for a normal bolus feed, it is a step in the right direction, and it's enough for us to head home.
Tomorrow will be another blood test for a hopefully lower white count and then a probable switch from IV antibiotics to oral antibiotics. If all falls into place, the residents will prepare the discharge paperwork tomorrow night, have it ready for quick overnight updates from Wednesday into Thursday, and send us packing early Thursday.
Now, everyone just cross your fingers that the storm holds out for this mommy to take her baby home!
