Emily now weighs 2180 grams (4 lbs, 13 oz). The flow rate for her cannula was reduced to 1 liter / hour yesterday, and her feeds were increased to 42 cc’s every three hours. We are getting more aggresive with the bottle feeding since this is the only thing keeping Emily at the hospital. We try to give her the bottle every time. Today she took the whole feed from Mom at noon, 34 cc’s at 6 PM and 22 cc’s at 9 PM. She had another eye exam today and her ROP is still stage two, regressing in both eyes.

More adorable pictures! Hopefully practice will make perfect with the bottle feeding and Emily will be home soon. All of us who have been following her journey will rejoice with you on that day! Take care and keep sucking Emily. Rowena
Praise God, Emily is doing so well. She is one tough brave little girl. I continue to pray for her daily. donna
