Audrey is still off the bili-lights and is now able to wear clothes. She looks even smaller when the preemie clothes are so big on her!

She has also been off the IV for two days! She is doing so well that she could even be moved to the transitional nursery - also known as the "Feeder Grower Room." All she needs to do now to be able to go home is start gaining weight & gain consistently; eat on her own without the nasal-gastric tube; and maintain her own temperature. We're hopeful that it won't take her more than two weeks to reach those goals! They are going to fortify her milk for a little while to see if they can get her to fatten up a little.

We had some more visitors today. My boss Judge Patton & his secretary Sheryl came to see us and we had a nice visit. Audrey was even awake to see them, which was good timing since she sleeps about 22 hours a day!

Audrey and I are excited for Michael to come back to Louisville tomorrow night to spend the weekend for us. Hopefully she'll gain some weight today and make her Daddy proud.
