The 700 Club

Well, Emma has reached the 700 club. She had a big weight gain due to her tolerating her increased feedings, and she is now 700 grams. It took us a little while, but she is getting a bit bigger.

Emma continues to do well with her feedings and her breathing tube. The doctors suspect that Emma had a small bout of pnemonia, so she will continue on antibiotics for a couple more days. Other than that she is doing really well. They anticipate that when Emma is done w/ her medication they will remove her IV and she will obtain all of her nutrition from milk.

Emma's echocardiogram results came back today. She continues to have a murmur. While the doctors don't believe that it poses an immediate threat. However, they feel that it would be best to get it taken care of soon. So, it looks like Emma will be having surgery early next week.

Other than that, Emma continues to do well. As for Liz and I, we are looking forward to the weekend. Liz has done well with her week at school and she is looking forward to relaxing a bit this weekend. I finished my first final today, a monster of an antitrust exam. I feel good about how it went, and now I can relax tonight before studying for my next two finals.
