Both eyes are open!!

Yes, you read correctly, both of Lily's eyes are now open!! It was so exciting to get to look into both of her beautiful blue eyes yesterday. Of course she would never let me get a good picture of both eyes opened wide, but hopefully I will get a good one soon.

I have had two good visits with her, getting to hold her for a long time. She is now up to 4cc of feedings every 3 hours and doing wonderful with them. She is currently weighing in at a whopping 1 lb. 12 oz and is 13.2 inches! Yea!

I would like to ask you all to please pray specifically that she be able to wean (turn down) her vent settings soon. They have tried the past several days and she hasn't been able to tolerate it well. She also has been battling some fluid on her lungs which makes it more difficult. She is getting another dose of Lasix tonight to help with that. We really want her to be able to go down on her rate soon as this is what the doctors would like to happen. We believe that God is still growing and developing her lungs and know that He will help her through this.

I will continue to keep you posted on her development and want to continue to thank all of you for your prayers and encouraging words. They help more than you will ever know. We pray for all of you each night when we pray for Lily asking God to bless you all and that He would meet all of your needs.
