Back on track

Not trying to jinx anything here, but after our couple of bumps in the road last week, it's nice to feel like things are finally back on track.  Elyse is now finished all of her antibiotics, and her weight has been steadily gaining about an ounce a day, up to 1240g (2lbs 12oz) today.  Her feeds were increased to 1ml every 2 hours yesterday, and increased again to 2ml every 2 hours today.  So far she seems to be tolerating them well, so hopefully the increases continue to go smoothly. 

She is still having a number of brady spells, including some that need a bit of intervention (the nurse rubbing her back or arm), which is a bit of a change as previously they were all typically self-resolving.  Again, both types are still quite normal for her young age.  The doctors think she may have outgrown her caffeine dose and have increased it again, so we will see if that helps.

In other positive news, the results of her head ultrasound came back showing nothing of concern, and cardiology has signed off on her, meaning they do not believe she has any heart issues and don't see the need to run any additional tests.  So hopefully all we need to think about now is sleep, eat, and grow!
