NICU Day 57

Annie is doing well. She did have a Brady spell last night. Also her bottle feeds are slowing down a bit. She took 64% of her feeds by bottle on Monday. Tuesday (yesterday) she was down to 24%. She looses interest or gets too tired by about 10 minutes into her bottle. Therefore, the rest is tube fed. I know she is working as hard as her little body will allow, so I MUST be patient. How hard it is! I found this quote that really made an impression on me. We will make it through this storm, and look back at this time as a distant memory. I have to focus on that as the days seem to get longer as they pass. We will make it out.


"And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about." -Haruki Murakami
