Update for Thursday, April 7

Hi everyone, we just wanted to give you a quick little update on Katherine's progress. Today she is 53 days old, and she's 34 weeks adjusted age (6 weeks until her original due date). Three days ago Katie was taken off of her daily caffeine supplement that was helping her to be stimulated enough to remember to breathe. (It's funny, without my daily caffeine I forget to breathe sometimes too!) So, as she continues to work on her bottle feedings, she's having a few more breathing desaturations. Today also she's passed another weight milestone - she's now 5 pounds, 0 ounces! Katie has been receiving a supplement in her food to increase the calories to 26 per ounce, and since she's been gaining weight so well, this supplement was turned down so her food is now 24 calories per ounce. That's all for now, we'll update again soon.
