Finally we have some better news today. Both girls had their eyes checked again by Dr. Sippy and they both are looking good. He said that the spots that Dr. Murdock had seen last Friday in Evie’s eyes have cleared up and were probably looking poor because they were not totally healed from surgery; thus why they wait 2 weeks to do the follow up exam. Maggie has a slightly similar story as Evie and has a few spots that are still healing, but her 2 weeks is on Friday. Thus, he thinks the surgery did what it was supposed to and we most likely will not need any supplemental procedures. However, he wants to look at them again in a week.

On the feeding side, we came up with a plan to try to phase out the NG tubes. We are going to nurse/bottle feed 5-6 times a day but limit the feeding time to 40 minutes. Thus, we’re hoping to make some progress.
