Day 37

We got good news today - Aerin's PICC line is out! Finally! Even though she didn't get an infection from this one, I still hated every minute she had it in there. This means that the doctors are confident that she's stable enough not to need food or meds through a central line.

As if that weren't enough good news - she's now getting 24 cc's at each feed. She hasn't had any reflux issues since they spaced out her feedings and started her on the Reglan, so they're confident in bumping her up. She's digesting everything beautifully - no residuals (leftover milk in her stomach) at all.

Aerin's Uncle Daniel (Andrew's brother) came to see her from New York City and she put on a show for him that was beyond adorable - smiling and sticking out her tongue and waving her arms all around.
