Adelina is awesome - she gained back the weight and then some. She's 2lb/2oz as of this morning. They'll draw some more blood to check on her anemia tomorrow
and will still receive iron in her feedings. Since she's bumped up in weight, the docs increased her to 26ml (remember 30ml=1oz) over a 1.5hour on/2.5hour off cycle. They want to get her to 1 and 4hours.
I don't have Andre the Giant hands... this is a good reference picture.
So as she gets bigger and older, we hope that the term "Brady" can go back to referring to Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby and Cindy.
Dad stopped by after work to see Addy and she had a few little episodes when he touched her, so he opted not to hold her. I went in the p/m and held her for 2 hours and she was quite fussy most of the time and had 2 episodes... Her day nurse had trouble getting her settled in her "snuggly" all day - she's determined to get where she wants to go!

Is that Cousin Frank or Cousin Enzo? It is so hard to tell them apart. 2.2 pounds is such a miracle, it has to be all the love and that special "Al" blood that is making you grow. We love you!
