Madeline had another good day yesterday. Her ventilator settings were reduced again as she's now breathing regular air and only has pressure as a booster. Her feedings are staying the same and the plan is to try the bolus again on Monday. The big news was she had her first eye exam and she checked out well. Her eyes are completely healthy but still very immature. This means that we'll have another test in 2 weeks but given how little help she is needing for her breathing, hopefully we won't run into any of the eye-related complications. The exam was pretty rough on her but she was tough as nails. When they did the exam, which took about 3 minutes to complete, she cried the loudest I've ever heard her. It was pretty crazy to hear her that loud (as a comparison, the almost full term baby next to her was crying at the same volume) but it was over quickly and she came right back into my arms for Daddy-daughter time.
Next up is to keep growing! 1125 g and counting!
