Good news - Claire is stable!  Alan and I visited last night and she looked so much better.  The bili lights have returned to treat her jaundice and she continues on bowel rest.  The plan is to resume feeds on Sunday as long as the tummy x-rays remain normal.  Her lab work is normal and the antibiotics will likely be discontinued on Sunday.  If all continues to go well, she may start nippling next week.  She continues to like her binky and is demonstrating a good suck.  Her current weight is 2 pounds 5 ounces - woo hoo!  We will visit again tonite.  The doctor just called and gave me an update and stated that "she looks healthy and normal".  All very good news. :)

Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.  They are working and assisting Claire as she learns to live outside the womb in the real world.

xo,
