Chrissy is home.

Kaitlyn is still in the NICU.

Today she reached her feeding goal and actually exceeded it. They needed to see 46 ml per feeding and she did 50! Twice! So that issue is done. The only remaining things are the spinal tap and the antibiotics.

When she was born they did a tap to see if there was any infection. Today they reported the Tap had a slightly elevated white blood cell count. They did another today to see if its up or down to rule out infection. This and the antibiotics are what are keeping her in the NICU.

So its good news, but we'll have to wait a few more days to have her here. She's pink, cute, and much less swollen now. Chrissy fed her today and both did wonderfully! She's on formula right now, but that will be changing as Chrissy starts getting her milk in.

So yet again, more wait and see...
