I have been waiting for this day!! 
Ava drank 15cc (1/2 of an ounce)Tonight was a great night!! I was able to feed Ava with a bottle tonight. We were up at the hospital about 5:00 pm and the nurse asked if I had fed her with a bottle yet and would I like to at her 6:00 feeding. Of course I did. Well, Miss Priss got hungry about 5:45 so I was able to get started early. She did a great job and ate half of her feeding with the bottle and she ate the rest through her feeding tube. But even better news came via a phone call from the nurse later tonight. Ava ate her entire 9:00 feeding from her bottle. YEAH! More practice will come in the next few days. Hopefully Ava is on her way to her homecoming!!

Abby! I am so thrilled at the great strides Ava is making. God is so good and gracious and all-powerful and it is so evident in your little princess! i will keep praying for her strength each day! take care and keep up with the postings!
Yeah for such a big girl! I remember those days well with my girl who got her ticket to the NICU for refusing to eat. Cheering over the cc's brings back sweet memories. What a fast learner you guys have - she doubled her skills in 3 hours!!
Love you,

PS. A woke with the cold J was fighting last week - I'm really glad we didn't come share, but I missed you!
