Eliza's still doing well. They are taking out her IV today ( yeah!! no more scary IV cords to worry about). She is currently eating breast milk with Human Milk Fortifier (HMF) to add calories. She has been having some issues with acid reflux. They are not sure if it has to do with the HMF so they are going to see if taking her off helps and then maybe adding some formula to the breast milk to add calories that way might work. For now, if she's off the HMF and not yet on formula we shouldn't expect much weight gain. She needs to progress at her own rate and every day is a step closer to coming home. ( or at least that what we keep telling ourselves.) They should offer her a bottle by Monday. If she takes it well then her feeding tube will be removed!! We keep making little steps forward. I guess that's why they call it "Baby steps"!
