It’s been a couple days, so I thought that I should fill you all in with the news that I have.

If you haven’t been checking out her photo album, you’ve been missing out. Lewis and Dad have been uploading some new photos every couple days, so you should check back now and then to see how she’s growing.

First off, we have a weight update…..Jordyn has gained 12oz!!! She’s now up to a staggering 5lb 1oz.  I can almost remember when I could barely even lift that much…it feels like only yesterday….

To go in tandem with that news, today was the first day she was able to take a bottle for feeding! (I think I could easily overuse the exclamation point in this blog…I’ll try to contain myself).  That’s because she passed the Barium Swallow test (and to think…she didn’t even have to study…she’s a born natural).

The chest drainage tube (from her recent heart operation) has been removed, along with her arterium IV line.  She still has the ng (nasal gastral) tube hooked up to her (probably for the next couple days), and she still has some oxygen getting piped in to her via a nasal tube, but she’s almost completely functioning on her own!

I’ll keep you updated as I hear more news.  In the meantime, be sure to check out that photo album.
