Chinese proverb

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break."

This is a first....

It seems I over packed for Audra's hospital stay this week?!

Usually, Audra out-stays her welcome at CHOP...
and I have to wash and re-wear the same clothes multiple times...
and I run out of quick "meals" that I can consume in the bathroom, out of Audra's sight.

But this time...
Audra rocked her recovery,
her tummy didn't give her any trouble at all,
and she was discharged yesterday!!

She tolerated her first night of half volume tube feedings, was becoming more comfortable, and was getting her appetite back,
...so she got her walking papers!

Last night at home we did full volume for her tube feeding overnight (about 2oz per hour for 10 hours)...

~she slept like a rock
~there were no annoying pump alarms during the night
~and we had no nasty leaking of formula from any tube connections

I'd call it a win! 

Today she is up and running, getting into everything, and just being her adorable little, lumberjack of an eater, self.

  1. So glad to hear that Audra is doing so well. I hope this coming year is one with lots of milestones developmentally. Praying for continued healing for Audra and for continued endurance to run the race for you.
