We really don’t have much to report tonight. Mikaila tolerated her feeds very well throughout the night and all day. She didn’t have any aspirates. Despite my silent protestations, a rare event for me for sure, her team has not budged from their position. She will be getting the 24 calorie blend at least through the weekend. I would really like to see them bump up her calories. For now, we’ll leave it to the experts. To stay on track at her current weight, Mikaila must now gain an average of 17 grams each day. She gained 15 grams yesterday and as such, is up to 840 grams.
Today, Kim Kangaroo Cared her little girl for almost three hours. Mikaila really thrives during these sessions and today was no different. Her vitals remained stable as she settled in for a long nap.
I should add that visual inspection of little Mikaila speaks volumes. She simply looks better each day. That’s about it. If they weigh her tonight before we go to sleep, I will do an update post.

This is a great report. I am very proud of Mikaila's progress.I am thinking of her all the time.It is about 20 after 8pm, and I know she just had her 8pm feed. I wish I were there with her. I would love to read her a story....or do anything to help. My prayers are with her all the time.
