Ok, our patience has been rewarded. Zelly will be coming to
Olympia this morning to begin her next phase of learning to be a
baby.
Last night we had our third nursing session. Zelly's starting to get
the hang of it, although it's still recreational -- she still gets her
main feeding through her tube. She opened wide and searched around
and clamped on (ow!) and sucked. I think she's going to figure this
out pretty soon.
She's up to 2 lbs 13.5 oz. She may slow down a bit with the
transfer but I'm hoping we'll have a 3 lb baby by her 4 week birthday
on Monday.
Thanks again to all of you and your positive thoughts and
supportive messages. Good-bye for now from Olytown, soon to be
home to the wonderful, magical Zelly.
