Patchelicious Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Karmi continues to improve. She sleeps well, has a healthy appetite and is growing at a good rate at last. Dad had another turn at kangaroo care today. Ouch! His chest hair is probably thinning rapidly! The doc says, barring any complications, Bunny can go home when she reaches 2kg. I find that surprising as full-term newborns usually weigh quite a bit more than that. Tomorrow is weigh-day. Holding my breath to see how much she has grown. What follows is in Afrikaans, and I apologise to those who don't understand, but it is something Karmi's mum wrote:So nice reading good news in the morning!
2bliss Posted September 10, 2017 Author Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Thank you from Bunny and parents. (I've not yet received the daily update.) EDIT: Yes, that is a regular A4 paper. Edited September 10, 2017 by 2bliss FCH, the nerd, Andrew Steer and 9 others 12

2bliss Posted September 11, 2017 Author Posted September 11, 2017 Daily update: Karmi continues to surprise. She is really doing well. Her fortified milk has been increased to 30ml per feed. The doc says they can start trying bottle feeding next week. It may be tricky, because some preemies "forget" to breath when drinking from a bottle. Also her mouth is so small... eish... we'll have to see how it goes. Would be great if it works, because then they will be able to ditch the feeding tube she keeps pulling out.
