1) Finish her IV antibiotics (Friday night is her last dose)
2) Eat a normal amount from a bottle/from the breast
3) Be off the oxygen (though she *might* be able to come home on a small amount of oxygen).
She's doing great on #1 and #2, but #3 is coming slower so far. She's only on 25-30% oxygen through a nasal cannula (room air is 21% O2), but she still needs it.
Yesterday, June 28th, I got to breastfeed her and also got to give her her first bottle. Because my milk supply stinks (like last time, despite all of my best efforts), she really has to eat from a bottle in order to go home. The unfortunate side effect of this is that she might not be able to breastfeed well at all later, but since I don't have too much milk, it's not the end of the world. We just want her healthy so she can come home soon.
