It's amazing how nice it feels when you can finally see the end of Maddie's NICU time coming up. After speaking with the Dr. this morning, Maddie is holding at 4 lbs. 13 oz. She took ALL of her bottles yesterday (another benchmark down). She also pulled out her NG tube for the last time because they will not be putting in another one. We are waiting for a bloodtest on Monday and the results of a 12-lead EKG. She'll need to do a carseat test to make sure she doesn't desat while sitting in the carseat but I don't think that'll be an issue seeing as she was in a swing for a while and never desatted. Thank you all for all the well wishes and prayers. We are so grateful for all the support you have shown us. Hopefully we will have a full family photo to put up on Tuesday.
