PICC is Out

Madeline had a great day again yesterday. The PICC line is out and her arm is free to go about whatever business she wants. Her head ultrasound came back normal once again so no cause for worry there. Her feedings are all the way up to 7 mLs per hour now and that's the number we're apparently staying at for awhile. It's really great to see her without the ventilator and IVs (plus all of the associated wires and tubes) In her room, it feels like somebody did spring cleaning and freed up a bunch of space.

When we saw her yesterday, I was able to do some kangaroo and she is definitely starting to look and act even more like a regular baby. We don't know her weight reading but both Kristen and I are expecting a decent jump as all of her just looked bigger to us. She was really calm when I was holding her and snoozed the afternoon away. Here's yesterday's action shot (without the PICC line):
