Well today was day 75 in the NICU for Sydney and boy do we feel it...
On the bright side, our little chunk of love weighs a whopping (1935g) which is 4lbs and nearly 3 ounces. She made the four pound mark on Monday.
I had to laugh, the doctor actually said that if she continues to put weight on this fast they may have to put her on a diet. I can only imagine the expression on my face.
The reaction we've been getting is..."oh that's great, now she can come home" but as we have learned that is really not the case. Sydney's development is still moving right along but from a breathing, cardiac and neurological standpoint she's not quite there yet.
Don't get me wrong, she is doing fantastic but with the apnea and brady spells that she currently has, Thanksgiving is not being mentioned any longer. Of course they add the disclaimer that the whole picture could change next week so as we just continue to ride the roller coaster where it takes us.
I'll definitely take some new pics soon ... Please keep us in your prayers.

Hey Sam,

Dear Sam, such wonderful news. I know that Sydney will continue to do well - love to all,

Go Sydney Go!
Little Miss Hannah had Apnea as well and spent the first weeks (in the Special Care nursery and at home) on a monitor. But that went away and everything worked out a-okay. I'm sure Sydney will continue to make leaps & bounds of progress! I can't wait to see new pictures! :)
