We have the most amazing news to share, yesterday July 28th, after 3 weeks and 1 day in the NICU, we were able to bring our little miracle home! The doctors were really impressed with all her growth she had made. They were proud of her eating, both with the breast and the bottle (still with breast milk). We are going to continue to watch her weight gain. That was the only concern that the doctors had as we were talking about discharging. She was still not showing a pattern of steady weight gain that the doctors were completely satisfied with, however they thought this is something that can be handled as an outpatient with our pediatrician. Christopher and I are over joyed to have our sweet little angel home finally. Now the real fun begins! Charlotte met Jax for the first time and Jax seems to be in love. He is ready for his protective guard dog duties to start!
Charlotte had her first pediatrician appiontment today. Dr, Hayes was very nice, however someone was not impressed with all the poking that was done. The exciting news about this appointment was that Charlotte was up one ounce from when she was discharged from the NICU. This is perfect because typically babies gain about an ounce a day, give or take some exceptions.
Thank you again to all of those who have continued to pray for our family and especially little Charlotte. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives and to pray for the growth and health of our daughter. Please know if there was a way to reach out to each of y'all individually and say thank you we would. May God continue to bless all of y'all in your lives.
Love,
Brittany, Christopher, Charlotte and Jax
