Nearly Home

Well it looks as though we may be going home sooner rather than later. We have a meeting with the doctors tomorrow to discuss her plan of where to from here. We spoke to a team of doctors today that were really helpful and the main question that Antz wanted answered was about her lungs. He asked them about her outgrowing her lungs and he said if she was going to do that she wouldn't have even made it out of neonates. So that was some good news for us. So our plan is to watch her over the weekend with the food going back into her tummy and not into her bowel like it has been for the last 3 weeks, to see how it goes. If all goes well then she will probably stay on the feeding tube that goes down to her bowel. This will stop any chances of the milk getting into her lungs and hopefully keeping her clear of any chest infections that she may get.
But we will be going back to Wellington hospital and not home straight away. I imagine we will only be there for a couple of days because she is doing so well at the moment.
