Five Months
Dorrie hit five months old today (6 weeks adjusted). She’s still shy of 9lbs, still on oxygen, still taking most of her feeding via ng tube, and still in the hospital.
But at least we’re five months closer to coming home? Whenver the hell that will actually be.
My personal gut feeling is that we’re still here for at least another month. Hopefully it won’t be two, because I’m not sure I could handle two… but then, I thought I had hit my limit when we reached three months and she was back on the ventilator.
Today was an okay day as days have gone lately. She managed to breastfeed three times (in a row even), she didn’t have any major spells or desats, and we finally managed to get an actual appointment with the Pain-Free clinic for her sedated hearing test (Wednesday). We had an excellent nurse for the day and one of Dorrie’s primaries for night.
