Gracie had another great week. On Sunday night she passed the 1800 gram(3lb 15oz) mark. She now weighs 4lb .5oz. She gets to move to an open crib like the ones they use in the regular nurseryand she gets to wear clothes. She has not had anymore spells since Mother's Day and is taking all of her feedings by bottle and doing some breastfeeding. Dr. Rojas has ordered an ultrasound to be done tomorrow which has us very anxious. Gracie has several Hemangiomas or as most people call them strawberries on her body. She has one on her chest that she has had since birth but continues to get more. Ryan and I just thought that was normal but come to find out that usually babies have three or less. Gracie has more than 20. There is a chance since she has a high number on the outside that she could have some on internal organs. So they will do the ultrasound to check mainly the liver and brain. The doctor told us to doesn't expect to find anything it is just something that needs to be checked. Please pray for we are very nervous. The best news of all is that there is a chance that we will get to take Gracie home this weekend. She still has a few test to pass but we are getting very close.
