Same Ol' Same ol'

Not much is happening with Karsie except being in the NICU longer and longer and longer.  They changed her plan to go slower with her increased feeding.  She will be on a full day of pedialyte, a full day with 18 mL of breast milk, a full day of 35 mL of breast milk, a full day of 53 mL of breast milk, and finally a full day of 70 mL of breast milk.  This is a full day of 25, 50, 75 and 100% of her total feeding respectively.  

We're kind of puzzled as to why this plan is all of a sudden slower than the other plan because the only thing that has happened between the two plans was her brown residual, which they have told us is not a concern at this point.  So we're not sure how going slower is going to help them decide what problem that brown stuff could be a sign of especially if they are no longer checking for it. And if they do think it's a problem we're not sure why they are not telling us and not looking for it anymore.  I think we're just a little frustrated that we're going back to having the same issues we were having before with communication.

If you're keeping score this new plan will keep her there until at least Tuesday.
