Hearing Aids and Other Sofia News

Sofia got her new hearing aids yesterday, yay! We can already notice a difference in her responsiveness to our voices and she seems very happy. She also is off her diuretics now and we are really giving the bottle feeding a try. She is taking about half of what she needs and needs to take about 100ml more each day in order for us to keep her off the NG tube.

Yesterday was a big day for her so by the time we got back she was completely conked out! We are hoping that on Thurs when we check in with the docs she'll be up to a good level of feed, still growing, and then will be able to wean her vent even further, hopefully getting off of it sometime after the summer.

You can see her tiny little hearing aids (pink of course!) in this picture.

Such a sweet picture! Glad she is happy with her new hearing aids. I always love to get the new posts to see how well the babies are doing- thanks! Did you hear Amy had her baby? Her name is Makayla and they are all doing well it seems.
