Today has been a good day! Arlyn after the doctors rounded this morning it was decided we could start bottle feeding with breast milk. Mommy has quite the supply in the freezer for Arlyn at this point so she can be breast feed dependent. Mommy and Daddy both got to feed Arlyn and after two swallows the tablespoon of breast milk she is allowed every 4 hours is gone and she wants more. She continues to love her pacifier and sugar water at this point. Tomorrow after pumping Arlyn will attempt to breast feed for the first time. I will pump myself dry prior but it is very important for her to learn how to do this before surgery to give her memory for after surgery. Other changes this afternoon include making her lactate Q12 instead of every 8 hours. This little princess opened her eyes this evening quite a bit when daddy was holding her so cute watching who she is. Tomorrow is the big meeting where plans will be solidified for Arlyn and her surgery so please keep us in your prayers, updates to come when we know!
