Holding steady

Myla had another good and stable day. She has become very opinionated according to the nurses and has no problem letting them know that her diaper is wet or that she does not like her position. Her cries sound like little mouse noises, but to me (for now), they are so sweet and perfect sounding. They continue to increase her feedings and are now adding extra calories to her milk. If she tolerates that milk well and they reach 20 milliliters, then they might just pull out the last IV she has. Right now, that IV is giving her the extra lipids, calories and sugars that she needs to grow. But if she is doing well on her milk alone, they won't need that anymore. Her weight is up to one pound, nine ounces today. Like the nurse said, every day she grows and matures and gets stronger and bigger. So, keep growing little girl!
