So... you know how I said it could be a long time until Bea gets breast milk? What I actually meant to say was, "It could be half of a day before Bea gets breast milk."
Today's x-rays showed that the fluid in her right side had subsided, so Ms. Beatrice was cleared to start getting a small portion of milk mixed in with her Portagen. There was a bout of regurgitation in the middle of the day, but the new food has been going down pretty well, overall. Fingers still crossed.
Anyway... Bea had another bath this evening. The event was a little more relaxed than Thursday's soak, and Carol swears that she saw our Little One smile! We'll keep everyone informed of the latest facial expressions as they happen.
All the best. Keep the comments coming.

Hurrah for another day of good reports! Looks like little Bea is making progress all the time. You can keep those fingers crossed...we'll keep praying! I am so thrilled for all of you. May you have grace and peace to keep going through these tense, exciting, nerve wracking, and amazing days. (Bea looks like a "big girl" in her new onesie!)
