Well, Luna and I spent a rather quiet and mostly uneventful week in the NICU patiently waiting for Daddy to come home on Thursday night. Here are some pictures from this past week.
Lifting her head and staring at her physical therapist.
Holding her bobo in place.
Trying to get rid of the stuff on her face. She was actually able to pull out her feeding tube a few times this week. I can't blame her. I'd try to get rid of it too.
Sleeping like an angel.
Daddy left work on Thursday and drove straight to the hospital to see his princess.
Then Daddy then got to participate in the most exciting news of the week....he got to give Luna a bottle!!! My baby girl is feeding out of a bottle!!! This may sound trivial: just another baby drinking out of a bottle, right? But NO! This is a HUGE accomplishment for Luna considering the severity of her CDH. She was able to take 1 to 1.5 ounces at each feeding today (the rest went through her feeding tube). She continues to amaze us everyday. We are sooooo proud of her. We just pray that she continues to do well on her bottle feeds so that we can get rid of her feeding tube soon.
U guys are amazing. I actually recently learned these defects in nsg school & I do understand what an accomplishment her bottle feeding is! Luna is such a a fighter. I've told everyone about her, we are all praying & cheering for her!!! God bless u all.
