Good News/ Bad News

Well good news is Miss Avery is gaining weight like crazy and is now up to 4lbs 12ozs. She is loving her bottles. She finishes them in no time. Just look how big she is getting!


Bad news Miss Avery Kate had a heart rate drop yesterday and they are leaving her on the aminophylline a little longer. They are leaving her on it partly because the heart rate drop and partly because it is still at such a high level in her system. Each week they do a blood test to see what level the aminophylline is at in her system. Her's still needs to come down a good bit before they take her off it.

So now it is looking like Miss Avery will be staying where she is for another month or so. I have to say it is very disappointing, but we are glad the delay is not due to something worse. We were really thinking it would be this week that she was taken off her aminophylline and then next week that she got to come home. Pat and I are so ready for our daughter to come home.
