Well Emily took a whole bottle twice in a row yesterday. This is how she felt about it.
We used the Dr. Brown bottle with the preemie nipple. I must say that this is a miracle bottle. She took to it right away and didn’t brady once! The first time she took the whole bottle she did it in 15 minutes the second time it was in 20 minutes. Also unlike the Advant bottles, she didn’t leak out that much. I didn’t have to watch how much she had in the nipple she controlled that so she could breath and she didn’t need to be burped really when it was done. The picture above was taken right after she had finished the second whole bottle. As you can see it didn’t wear her out and she was awake for a while after she finished both bottles.
Emily had the occupational Therapist come by yesterday. She did really well and the therapist said it was a good session. She worked with her about 20 minutes at bath time so that was good.
Emily’s breath rate was down for the last 24 hours and she is more or less just with the canula and doesn’t need the “blow by” oxygen that she gets from the Oxyhood. She is on 2 liters per minute for her flow and about 70%. Perhaps the drugs that she is taking are starting to work!
That is about it that is going on. She had a good day all told yesterday!

I was out of town for the Thanksgiving weekend and missed my daily “Emily fix”. Sounds like this new bottle is wonderful. I’m going to check it out to see what it looks like. The pictures are so cute; she is certainly growing and so alert. Emily’s precious smile must warm her heart beyond belief. Praying for Christmas at home together! Rowena
She looks wonderful! I am sooo happy. I’m glad to hear that the new bottle is working out. Good job!
Luv, Rebecca
