So long NICU

So long NICU - after 11 days - we are moving to the transitional unit! Lucy is off her IV - off oxygen and almost to being fed (through her nose) a little more than 2 ounces.

Also - they will begin allowing me to breast feed! Which is huge! It will be baby steps - like for 5 minutes at first maybe once a day and grow from there.

Lucy is receiving diuretics twice a day now orally and I hope to learn how to give it to her in the next day or so.

She will have another echo on Monday but as of this morning her murmur was still there. We are in the hands of the heart doctors and I think they are pretty good hands :)

Here are a couple of pictures from this morning - I think looks BEAUTIFUL!
