Sunday, December 30. The possibility of Eva coming home seems immanent again. The last visit of the occulist showed that her eye condition, called Retinopathy of prematurity (we read that it affects 85% of preemies born before 28 weeks) was actually better, not just stable. Her eating is getting better and better, she continues to gain weight, so it comes down again to waiting for her to stop desaturating.
Her doctor told us, with a cautious wave of her hand indicating that this is nowhere near a guarantee, that she maybe, maybe could come home tomorrow or the next day.
Preparing for that possibility, we started taking pictures of Eva with the nurses who have been caring for her these last weeks and months. This picture is with Elena, one of the team of all-stars in the intensive care unit (incidentally, also one of the nurses who let my mom in to see Eva).
