This morning Maria weighed in 2 lbs 8 oz!! This is the first time she has surpassed her original birth weight! I almost cried when I heard it! The nurses are steadily increasing her formula 1 cc every twelve hours!!
She has been on an antibiotic called Ampocilan since birth - 10 days now. The Ampocilan is causing loose stools, which are in turn causing a little diaper rash. I feel like there's a catch-22 here. We'd like to see the loose stools subside, which means stopping the antibiotic, but as long as the PICC line is in, we need to be cautious about infection... Thank God that her feedings are progressing so nicely! Each increased cc is one step closer to removing the PICC line.
