Here's a random tidbit for you: Caley has been in the NICU for 57 days now, and this evening is the first time we've had a male nurse. (Hi Dan!) No commentary on that at the moment, just an observation.
Caley was preemie-in-a-box for most of the day. There's construction going on all around the hospital, and today the smell of tar (or maybe asphalt being laid) invaded the NICU. The nurses were concerned that the strong odor would bother the babies, particularly the young ones with respiratory difficulties like Caley. So she only got to visit with us for a little while this evening.
Tonight's weight was 1260 grams. Very slow progress on that front. Marie did talk to the occupational therapist this afternoon, and Caley is showing many of the signs that she's ready to try bottle feeding soon. We're looking forward to that!
