So we finally made it to see them at the UK Childrens Hospital this morning and let me tell you...Emmy is a little darling of a girl. She stole my heart, you guys! That little peanut, she is so vivacious, smiley and so good natured..bottom line, I can't get the image of her waving bye bye to me out of my head. I was wishing I can take her home with me.
She has her NG tube in and seems to be doing ok with it. Melissa said, she was not very happy about it the first day and now she is treating it like it's not even there. At least i did not see her pulling on it once.
She is taking formula really well, 4oz every 3 hrs and is not throwing it up or having discomfort, so thats major news. :smt041 Melissa was worried about DGE, but it does not seem to be on her mind anymore.
They are just going to continue with the NG till Thursday and if all is well proceed with the G-tube surgery.
I have no doubt in my mind that Em is going to do really well with it. She'll catch up in no time and we'll see lots of chunky monkey pictures and stress free mommy.

I wanted to share some of the pics I took of Emmy and Ava playing together. It was so cute!!!
Emily was walking around patting Ava on her back, saying "baby" "baby".
Check it out...

Debbie, that's the thing...Ava is much younger and lots bigger than Em.:sad5:
Em is this tiney thing, but so adorable.
They got on really well together, no fighting. Emily is a sweet little thing, she was hugging Ava and wanted to play with her and Ava was squealing. So cute.
