update

Before continuing the story, a quick update on Aria: she's not home yet, unfortunately, but is alert, eating like crazy, and off nearly all the scary wires now. The doctor thinks she'll be ready to go home Thursday, maybe Wednesday. Hosanna's been able to breast feed her a few times; the rest of the time, she pumps, and we run the breast milk over to the hospital, where they feed it to her by bottle. On a couple occasions she's gotten formula, which we're not wild about (we really wanted to breast feed her exclusively), but we understand that our whole plan of action has been totally derailed, and we're trying to roll with it as much as possible.
