Making more strides toward home

Brenna's eyes are continuing to heal, and the skin on her newly added lids are starting to "pink up" as the blood vessels form in the new skin.

She is still stitched closed, but she is trying her hardest to open them, especially her right eye! It won't be long now until she can open them all the way I think.Some big chunks of the old skin from inside her ear have also come out, so we're hoping that means she can hear a lot better. She will be getting a newborn screening test done soon. And then when she comes home, she'll have to get regular ear cleanings to make sure the thick skin doesn't build up again in her canals.
Brenna is officially off the antibiotics she had started taking the week she was born. The only meds she is currently taking are an anti-fungal medication to prevent yeast infection, and the acetretin, which is the medication that makes her skin "shed."

She is now averaging about 85-105 mL of milk every feeding (about every three hours). One ounce is equal to 30 mL, so she's eating the amount that Connor ate at 3-4 months, if I'm remembering correctly. She's still a tiny thing though, since she burns so many calories making skin. She's staying around 6 lbs, 4 oz.

Brenna is now is 45 percent humidity level in her incubator - all the way down from the 95 percent she was in during her first week! She's tolerating the humidity decrease quite well...look how good the skin on her back looks!
And with all of this progress, we've been hearing a very welcoming word lately: HOME!

"Try to do her treatment as much as possible so you know how to do it well at home."

"These are the occupational therapy exercises you need to do with her at home."

"Bring in her baby bathtub and some sleepers so we can get her used to that before she goes home."

Are we really moving so quickly toward coming home!?!?
