Day #2 was a very good day. Tekla (who I've nicknamed sweet potato to the horror of TP. She is kind of orange and wrinkly) was able to be weaned totally off her oxygen. She is under the bili lights because her bilirubin has been elevated but that is to be expected. She is tolerating her feedings quite well. She has been losing some weight, but hopefully now that she is tolerating her feedings that will change.
She may be little, but she is strong.
Greg (TP) has jumped right in and has begun changing diapers... LOL. Somehow to this point I've avoided that. I've been doing some of the feedings. I told TP I'll take the top half, he can take the bottom... I don't think he went for it.
Melinda and her great husband got to come up and see her last night and they were both so excited. I think it made Melinda feel better to see how well she is doing.
Melinda may get to go home today (friday) so we are busily trying to get everything arranged for her.
Keep up the good work little sweet potato.
Just a simple guy with a lot on my mind. This Blog is an attempt to not only provide others some insight into me, but also for insight into my self.

Excellent news!
I'm so glad to hear it! (I'm up in Sacramento visiting my folks for Thanksgiving, so if you need anything, let me know.)
That's great news!
If she has an appetite like either one of her daddies, she will be gaining weight soon.
