A New Day, A New Doctor

Addyson is doing awesome today!  She took all of her first bottle at 8 am and all but 2 cc of her 11 am bottle.  She was also more alert and awake today than she has ever been.  She was awake from her first feeding all the way until she was done with her second.  Her bilirubin levels were at a 12.1 as well, which are down from yesterday as well.

But...

The doctor that has been seeing Addyson is on vacation this week, so she saw a new doctor today.  When he came around right before her 11 am feeding, he said that he wants her to be eating 80% of her bottles for two days before they take her off her NG tube, as opposed to the 75% for one day that we were hearing.  We were also told likely one day after the tube comes out, but this doctor is saying two now.  Our other doctor said that if he got a third bilirubin level that was lower then he wouldn't worry about it anymore and just call the 13.9 her peak, but this doctor is saying it's still something to be concerned about.

It is most likely just a case of differing opinions, but you can imagine how frustrating and a little disheartening is is for Beth and I to hear.   Keep praying for Addy, she is doing so well and your prayers are much appreciated.  Keep praying for Beth and I as well, as this news is not so fun to hear, especially when it feels like she could be doing this at home just as easily.  Pray for the doctors to decide that she can come home soon.  Thank you all for your prayers and support.
