Good News....

Since Saturday there has been a lot of good things happening. For the past few days the nurses have been giving Stella 2 bottles a day and the remaining feedings have been with the tube in her nose. Sunday night I got to burp her after the nurse gave her bottle to her. That was really cool for me. We found out last night that they are going to start giving her a bottle every other feeding since she is doing so well with the feedings. We were also told last night that they have decided to quit giving her the caffeine since she hasn't had a heart rate drop since Friday morning. So it sounds like she should be going home Thursday or Friday of next week. We are very excited and can't wait to get her home. Lastly is her weight gain, she has been gaining wait very good. She is now up to 4lb 2oz and growing everyday. Thank you so much to everyone for the prayers and the things they have done.
