Footlong sub - and two bites

Myla continues to do well on the high flow oxygen machine. And as long as she does, they will keep her on it. The nurses new focus is on her weight. She went back down to one pound nine ounces at her weigh-in tonight. So, in an effort to get her to gain some good weight, they have upped her feedings to every three hours instead of every four. She is still getting the same amount - 20 milliliters - but she's getting two more feedings a day. Hopefully that will put some meat on her little bones. Speaking of her bones... Myla measured 12 inches and a half this week. That's a quarter inch over her birth length and officially puts her at a footlong sub and two bites. So we know the milk is going somewhere!
