I went to visit Gracie today and bring some more milk for her. When I got there she was "tanning" under the blue hue of the therapy lights to reduce her bilirubin count. She looked so cute with her eye covers on stretched out sleeping under the lights. Reminded me of a day at the beach. The doctor was on rounds while I was there and he came by to get an update from the residents on Gracie and plan out the rest of the day and the weekend for her. They are increasing her feeding amount by 1 cc every other feeding. She is up to 13 cc's and will end today at 17 ccs. She will be up to 25 by the end of the weekend. The good news was the doctor thinks if she continues to progress through the weekend and next week, she could come back to Valley Care hospital in Pleasanton. That will be great cause she will be close to home. I put some pictures of Olivia and Sophia in the incubator with Gracie so they can watch over her through the night.
So the day got more interesting as it went on. Sophia showed signs of having "pink eye" so, I had to get the doctor to call in a prescription for her. Hopefully we do not all get it. If Kim and I get it, we will not be able to visit Gracie until its gone. Lots of hand washing will be going on here for the next few days.
Earlier in the day Kim took some pictures of Sophia that really reminded us of Philip. Check em out below.
