Avery had a better day today than yesterday. She was still having desats but they weren't as bad as yesterday. She now weighs 4 lbs 6.7oz. I spoke with Dr Jeff, the neonatologist, and he said she still has a long way to go before coming home but to focus on how far she has come. He said Dr Doumit, the craniofacial specialist, is scheduled to come in and see Avery towards the beginning of next week. He will be the one to tell us exactly how extensive Avery's cleft palate is. He will also be the one performing surgery on her down the road.
Today is World Prematurity Day. More than 15 million babies are born prematurely each year and over 1 million of them do not make it. We feel very fortunate that Avery is doing so well.
