Maddie continues to make progress in all areas. Her feedings have been increased to 10 CCs every three hours and will be increased 1 CC every 12 hours with an immediate goal off 30 CCs per feeding. At the same time the supplemental intravenous feeding is being reduced at a rate consistent with the increase in her milk. While she still has a low flow nasal cannula, only room air with no supplemental oxygen is being pushed through it and it’s only being used to slightly increase the air pressure to her lungs. The cannula is delivering air at the rate of 1/2 liter per minute and that is being reduced on a daily basis. All in all the latest model of the 2007 Maddie continues to be upgraded at the factory with a possible showroom delivery date of middle to late January. Kirk

I remember when my daughter’s were measured in cc’s. I remember when I fought with Dr.’s and Nurses that I wanted to change her diaper!! You bring back the NICU so clearly to me even though she’s almost 10 years old and was released ages ago. Time moves so slowly in the NICU, hard to explain that to other people. I was given the link to this site from someone on twitter, I wish I’d had a chance to read it before Maddie passed away but I am enjoying reading about her life. I’m so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful tribute to your child.
