Caroline continues to do well and gained an ounce since yesterday - bringing her to 2 pounds, 15 1/2 ounces - nearly 3 pounds. Her feedings continue to increase and she is handling them all very well. Her platelets also increased today and her bilirubin stayed consistent. She had a head scan on Monday and we got the results yesterday - she has one, level one bleed on the left side of her brain - but it is expected to self correct in the next month. And all infection testing that may have led to her small size came back negative today - so again, we continue to rule things out and are left with unknown answers.
We are grateful for her continued growth and resilience and will leave the answers to someone else. As her nurse said today - we may never know why she is small and by the time we meet our maker and learn the answer, it will no longer matter and so for today we rule things out based on available technology and settle for unknown answers as she rocks everyone's world. Unexplained progress is real goodness.
Georgia is looking forward to another visit with baby sister tomorrow - she is very much looking forward to Caroline (her baby) coming home. She is also excited about putting together a small picture book of her sister.
Thank you to everyone for the ongoing prayers of support, phone calls, meals, emails, and text messages. I know we haven't been able to return every inquiry and for those we haven't connected with - please know we are grateful for your interest and we hope to connect with you soon. Dad and grandma continue to be amazing in coordinating Georgia's schedule. From visits to the park to special treats, Georgia may be considering moving in with Grandma full-time:) Thanks mom - we are so grateful to have you in town.
