Helena has started eating! Today the nurses started Helena on a low dose of breast milk and they will keep increasing it throughout the next few days. Finally, after 12 days of not eating, Helena will be able to get some food. I worked last night in the ER and was able to see Helena a couple of times throughout the night. Much to my suprise she was incredibly alert each time I saw her! Apparently, she is a night owl. She was also alert for most of the day when we were with her. Tommorow I will go in early to see her and Mary will come later in order to spend most of the day with her. Hopefully, we can take her home soon, that will be such a wonderful day! This is a picture of Helena from yesterday.
