Delle's NICU Journey -- Week 11

Day 70:
10 Weeks!
Delle is up 20 grams! 6lbs 7oz still. 
If she keeps up the good weight gain (at least 15-30grams a day) and she doesn't have 
any more apneas, she gets to come home on Friday!
And she got to meet her Aunt Sue today!






Day 71:
6lbs 9oz!
And she is eating really well still! 
I've stopped nursing for now, just so she can get consistent amounts of food
 and gain weight so she can come home! She is still getting fortified breast milk through bottles.

Delle is hilarious, she loves to burrow herself under the blankets to sleep.





Day 72:
Delle is up to 6lbs 11oz!
She randomly had a bad eating day today. She's just really sleepy, so she is back on 
oxygen to hopefully help her eat more. And hopefully she will still gain weight! It's really 
important for her to have good weight gain the two nights before she goes home, or the doctor won't let her go! And the doctor on this week is really conservative, he likes to see 30 grams of weight gain each night.





Day 73:
Delle only gained 20 grams last night. She's still 6lbs 11oz.
We're hoping she has good weight gain tonight so she can come home tomorrow!



Day 74:
Today is Delle's last day in the NICU! She gained 25 grams last night and is 
now 6lbs 12oz. And the doctor approved her to come home! We are SO happy and excited!
Sean and I took Hyde out to breakfast to celebrate "bebe sidder" coming home and our last morning of just the 3 of us.



This is one of Delle's primary nurses. Jayme and I worked together at Nailed, so
 it was fun/comforting to have someone I knew taking care of Delle!
