I did the drive out to Rochester at the crack of dawn and return the same evening trip so I will be a bit on the brief side; kind of have that floating feeling balancing extreme fatigue with the jitters associated with mainlining caffeine all day. Mikaila is still on track to go home on Saturday. She handled her feeds and maintained her temperature all day. She failed her first car seat test but passed it when it was re-administered this afternoon. The one concern is that she failed her hearing test. I wasn't there but from what I understand it is sort of a screen to get a baseline. Her results can mean any one of the following things; she has issues related to hearing, she has fluid in her ears or her hearing is still impacted by her prematurity. Let's hope that scenario one is not in play.
That's about all I have at this point. She was not weighed at 8. It's unlikely that I will be blogging at 11 this evening but we'll see.
I have been instructed to add Mikaila's updated length. She is now a hair over 15 inches. She has gained 20% in length while gaining 200% in weight.

Seeing Mikaila packed and wrapped up, like the cutest little bundle all ready for dispatch, has me completely choked up. Bon Voyage Mikaila! I'll bet that like your Grammy here, you'll absolutely love traveling!
Dara & Kimmy, Re Mikaila's hearing I'm voting for possiblility number two, fluid. You had that yourself, Dara, as well as the breathing problem. AND remember how she picked herself up and turned her whole torso around at the sound of your voice when you walked into the room? .... NO WORRIES!
But I'm calling in the angels, just to be sure.
Hugs, Kisses and Oceans of Love and Luck to all three of you...
