Waiting to go home...

We haven't really had much happen today. She has lost more water. She is down to 7 pounds. Still of few more ounces to go. Most of the lines that she is attached to now are just sensors. She has been up and down on her oxygen all day. Right now she is on .05 liters, next to nothing, but she is needing it. She has been wanting to eat all day. Anything that comes near her mouth she has gone after. Finally at 6:00pm I was given the chance to try and feed her. The nurse laughed at my family as we all stood over her waiting to see if she would eat so that her tube could be taken out. She said "It's too bad I don't have a camera, I would have loved to catch a picture of this." With my family, there is never a shortage of cameras. She had her choice of three.
She took about 10 of the 30 CCs of milk and decided she was done. The rest was given to her through her NG tube. Since it wears these heart babies out so much they will only let her try to eat by mouth every other time. We will try again at 10:30. Camee's daily visits finally paid off. Her and Jared were able to hold Gracelyn. We will update tomorrow. Hopefully with news that we will be going home.
