January 24 baby update

Jossie continues to do well. I was at her bedside for the doctors' rounds this morning and so I got to hear their report. She is taking a bottle now - 46% of the time, and the doctors said that was great. They also upped her feedings to 28 ml per serving. She has been taken off of her fluids through her IV, which is also a positive step in the right direction.

Apparently, she had two "episodes" yesterday. I did not ask what they specifically were, but it was either her heartbeat, oxygen level or breathing. This is the first time this has happened, and the doctors actually said they are amazed it took this long for this to happen. They said they would continue to monitor it but they also said they are not worried at all about these two episodes.

Jocelyn is already charming the nurses. In the picture above, she's with one of our favorite nurses, Sasha. Sasha told me that she has requested to be Jossie's nurse any time she is on duty. And who can blame her, right?
