Today was another great day for Evelyn, although she did lose some weight today. They say this is still okay and normal and are not concerned. They will be increasing her feedings again tonight to 13 cc's/3 hrs. Roger got to feed Evelyn today! You can see from the picture below that what this involves is basically holding the milk filled syringe so it can flow into her tummy.
She is getting her first bath tomorrow, so as long as that doesn't tire her out too much, we should be able to hold her for the first time. Can't wait! Also, some people have been asking if Rebecca and Chloe have seen Evelyn yet. Yes, they have. Rebecca can come in and visit with us whenever she/we want. We just have to certify that she doesn't have the sniffles or a cough, then a nurse has to take her temperature each time. Chloe also has to do the same thing, but she can only visit once a month. The only other restriction is when it is RSV season and then the hospital is closed to all kids. Of course, Roger and I prefer to go without the kids because they don't really want to hang out and be quiet and not touch anything for longer than say, 2 seconds. So those of you in town, we'll probably be asking for a lot of babysitting over the next few weeks/months! ;-)
