Good day

As I write this post, Mikaila's blog has roughly 6700 hits. The VC in me wants to think of an effective way to monetize those eyeballs. I'm sure if we did the analysis we'd find that this site has achieved, admittedly on a very small scale, what all sites aspire to; stickiness. We get a ton of return visitors on here. Mikaila has many fans.

Let's get to something you actually care about, Mikaila's day. Mikaila looked much pinker than she did prior to her transfusion. We see her so often that it is very difficult to notice subtle changes in her skin tone. The IV from the transfusion is long gone. A small mark on her foot serves as the only reminder of her ordeal of a day prior. This day was a fine day for young Mikaila. She took several bottles today without issue with an incremental volume of 2 mls. She is up to 32mls. Her vitals remain strong. Her nurse hadn't weighed her when I called after the 8pm feed but will likely do so at 11. I will make an effort to post her weight tonight so that the night owls among us might have that info in close to real time.

I called at 11. Mikaila gained another 25 grams. She now stands at 1545 grams or roughly 3 lbs 6 1/2 ounces.
