She's been breathing on her own since Tuesday, and her chromosomes are normal! Hopefully she'll be home soon!
Updated update: Baby E has been on a feeding tube, and when you couple that with her cleft palate, she hasn't really learned to suck very well. They're going to give her another 7-10 days, and if she isn't able to bottle feed well enough, she'll probably go to the Children's Hospital to get a G button so she can at least (finally!) go home. Then, her mom and dad can work on her bottle feeding.
This has been a long few weeks for everyone. Baby E has two brothers, M is 4 and O is 2. M&O have spent more time with my MIL than their own parents lately, and they've been coming back here quite a bit lately, too. This whole ordeal has been taking a toll on them as well, so it'll be so nice for everyone to just be under one roof again. With any luck, they will be in 2 weeks or less!
I hope that she can go home soon and they can all be together. They are in my prayers Heather.
