Well, it seems that Sarah has been driving the timeline for her recovery. Last week she decided that it was time to remove the respirator and kick the morphine habit on her own.
Yesterday, she dicided it was time to yank the NG tube out. The nurses concurred and decided not to put it back in. Everyone seems OK with that decision. Maybe we have a doctor on our hands.
The feedings have changed from pedialite to mother's milk. Sarah likes that switch as she displays the kind of consumption techniques that would make Kobayashi jealous. Unfrotunately, she only gets about 10 ccs of liquid at a time.
Each day we will increase that amount and see how her body processes the food.
I also officially met the parents of our neighbors in the NICU. They have a tiny little one. The timeline looks like we will all be there for another 8 weeks or so. I imagine by then we will all get to know each other very well. There tends to be lots of time to sit and talk in the NICU.
