To Infinity, And Beyond?

Yesterday we hit 110 days in our NICU endeavor.  It is so hard to believe we've been at this for so many days on end.  Here we sit though, waiting as patiently as we possibly can for Marlo's switch to flip.  There is talk of a switch, but, we have yet to see it.  Once it "flips" they say she will eat EVERYTHING, EVERY TIME.  The only question that remains is...When?

I would love to bring this little sweetheart home, and never thought we would still be in waiting limbo.


She gives us something cute to look at while we wait.  At least there is that.  :)  Kicking and screaming wouldn't get us anywhere with this, so we wait patiently for her to kick into high gear.

In the mean time, she is fattening up.  Weighing in at 6lbs 15.5oz tonight!  7lbs here we come!

There is light at the end of the tunnel, it shouldn't be much longer.  We can't wait! Print this post

She is sooo adorable. I was a preemie and I was in the hospital for 167 days. I hope that Marlo comes home before then. what does the name Marlo mean by the way?

Mellow: What a beautiful girl!! I haven't read your blog in some time and needed to catch up. Our boys had to stay for the same reason. Thank god we only had an 8 week stay. Little Marlo will get there. Have they done any trials without her NG tube. When it was time to change the boys they would leave it out for a little while and see how they did. It took them a few weeks to finally get the hang of it without the tube gagging them. We'll keep praying that you get to take her home soon.
