Hey everyone! Here is my 10th blog. Abigail is now 13 wks. old & was 39 wks. gestation on Wed.(7/16). She will be 14 wks. old on Mon.(7/21). The good news is that Abigail went on nasal canula on Sun. July 13th & is doing great on it! Nasal canula is just oxygen prongs in her nose. Abigail is breathing all by herself! This is what we've been waiting for most of her short life. She still has her feeding tube in. They moved the feeding tube from her mouth to her nose. They did this so that when they start bottle feeding her there is nothing down her throat. Bottle feeding will be a slow process. They attempted to feed her a bottle for the 1st time today but she didn't take much & gagged some on the breast milk so they will try again next week. It will take time, but eventually she will get the hang of bottle feeding. She has to learn how to suck, swallow, & breathe at the same time. She now weighs almost 7 lbs. Abigail is making a lot of good progress. Stay tuned for further updates on Abigail!
