So far so good

Yesterday was a very good day for Elyse.  Not only did she get to start eating again, but she has now officially surpassed the 5 pound mark!  They started her out on 6ml of milk every 3 hours, and will be increasing the volume by 1ml every other feed, so long as she continues to tolerate it well.  At that rate it will take about 10 days to reach full feeds, but that's ok.  Every extra millilitre is another step closer to home, no matter how long it takes -- even though she is starting to get a reputation for being the "old gal" in the nursery.
