Khloe update days 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, and 109...leaps and bounds!!!

It's been a little bit of a wait from the last post, but I think that what I'm about to tell everyone will be worth the wait. First of all, Khloe is getting so big. She is now 7 lbs 5 oz! Unfortunately she is very short for her age and I'm not sure the exact length but I believe she is about 17.5 inches long. She is eating 2 oz (60 mL) of milk and she has been doing very well with her bottles, although not good enough to go home. The bottles are still kind of hit and miss and she has only been awake for about every other bottle and the ones she is awake for, she usually takes most or all of it, but the last few days she has been struggling a little, which is probabaly due to the bad case of Thrush she has developed and I can't say I blame her because I'm sure it's very painful. I'm not sure if I mentioned it on here, but a little over a week ago I beleive, her oxygen was reduced to 1/4 liter on her nasal canula and she did awesome so Monday afternoon they took her off oxygen completely, so she is now officially breathing completely on her own without any respiratory support of any kind!!! She has been doing great and hasn't had any "AB's" and only minor desats when she gets mad or fussy and a few when she eats, but that's normal. Her eyes were the same last week and she will have another eye exam later today (Wednesday), but now that she's off oxygen, her eyes don't need to be better to go home. Now all we are waiting on to go home is for her to eat all her bottles so everyone please cross your fingers and say some prayers because we are more than ready to go home after 109 days in the NBICU. Unfortunately this week she lost three of her four primary nurses which was sad and a big shock to us, though I'm not going to tell the story on here for lack of time. Well that's all for now so check back later. Thanks for all the prayers and love.
