Eye exam....sorta

Ok, the big day arrived, sorry this is so late in posting.

The eye exam went......and is over.

And we have another week. The good news from the eye exam is that we have had no progress towards retinal detachment. However, we cannot see if we had progress in regression.

So from this eye exam, take with it the fact that we are still sitting here waiting on an eye exam on Monday, and not another surgery today. Not the worst, not the best, actually not even bad, just not done.

Our feeds have been increased, we are now off "banana juice" so that we get all the nutrition from milk. We are not back to where we were, but we are going to be there by Friday.

Also, probably next week, we will attempt to see if she can handle a full feeding all at once like a normal baby. Right now she constantly gets food dripped in....but next week we will put it all in and see if she can digest it correctly. This will get her more on a "baby like" food schedule. Once this happens, weight will go on more easily.

Her oxygen needs are doing better and she will be getting close to pre-surgery levels I think by next week.

Pretty uneventful as far as most things go. But not backwards. We will hold her today and see how she tolerates that.
