Out of the Isolet, No More IV

It was another good day for Sadie. She is no longer in the isolet. She's in the same spot in the NICU but she's now in a basinette. She has also lost her IV. So the only thing that she's hooked up to is the three leads to the heart and respiration monitors, a lead to the oxygen saturation monitor, and the tube down her nose into her stomach. The doctor said that it was "quite an accomplishment" to lose her IV. The next step is for Sadie to eat enough on her own to gain weight. At her 2:00pm feeding today, she was able to eat half of the 42cc's from the bottle and the rest was gavaged.
