A Pound

Thrilled...McKenna is now a pound over her birth weight. She hit the big 2 lb mark today. Not only that, but they decided she can start being fed a bottle once a day in her isolate. That is so exciting. So they let us do that tonight and it was a lot of fun. She did great and drank 11 ml (out of 25) from her bottle and it completely wiped her out. She was a zombie after that.

Keaton also gained weight over night, and is now 4 lb 2 oz. We wanted to jump up and down screaming when we heard the number tonight, but some how managed to control our joy. He is now 1 lb 2 oz over birth weight. What a blessing to see this gain. And, daddy fed Keaton a bottle tonight and did SO well. Keaton ate the entire bottle and daddy didn't get nervous or impatient the entire time, and he even burped Keaton.

Keaton's rash seems a bit more severe tonight, but nurse talked to doctor and they assure us it is not from MRSA and he will be fine. It is supposedly just "newborn rash".

I was able to get into the doctor Friday morning for testing MRSA. The results should come back Monday or Tuesday and we will determine at that point what to do concerning breast feeding or bottle feeding with my milk. Hoping they can at least get back on the milk for the antibodies if nothing else.

Thanks everyone for your prayers.
