Today I was advanced to 28 cc's. I keep creeping closer and closer to my goal.
The doctor on rounds today said that they should have a going home date by tomorrow. WooHoo. . . . . . as long as everything keeps going well. I need to keep gaining weight once I reach my goal feed.
Daddy learned how to place my feeding tube this weekend and did it easily on his own with the nurse guiding him through it. Next is mommy's turn. They both have been practicing giving my medicine through my tube.
I have to sit in my car seat for 1 1/2 hours with monitors on me before I leave too.
Here's a picture of me and mommy sleeping. . . .
Take care and keep sending happy thoughts. . . .
Love,
Alyssa

Keep up the great work, you are getting SO close!
Hi Kim, NJ & Alyssa,
This is the first time I've gotten your blog. It's a great idea. I was so excited to see Alyssa...She is, of course, beautiful. She also seems to have a survival instinct and strong spirit. I'm sure she gets that from both of you. It sounds like you guys are really making progress. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers. Take Care,

Alyssa, way to go girl!!!! Keep up the good work. It’s almost time for you to go home and see your new room. We can’t wait to come visit you. Love -The Jernbergs
What a precious picture of you and your mommy, Alyssa. You are such a lucky girl to have so much love around you. Keep getting better and you'll be home very-very soon.
Sending lots of prayers and love your way.

I totally cried when I saw this picture. You should frame it in Alyssa's room so she feels your love when she looks at it.
