Evia is doing great! She took 5 nipple feeds yesterday. She finished 3 bottles and two breast feeds. It appears she has turned the corner and figured out how to suck, swallow, breathe. She wakes up when hungry now and will cry or suck her hands. She previously didn't do this. She pulls on her nose tube when she gets hungry. The doctor may remove it in the next couple days so she'll take all food by mouth. It looks like Evia will likely be home by the end of next week. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but it's looking really good. Thanks for all the prayers and support we've received in the past month.
