Well, despite Auburn's poor performance on Saturday, Thomas remains a true fan and demonstrates this often by wearing all of his Auburn attire and running through the house yelling go Auburn Tigers!!!! His Dad and I on the other hand are quite disappointed but remain loyal fans as well.
Lily is doing well, continuing to grow and even looks older each day. The video clip is of her sucking on her ventilator tube. She is moving so much now. Even turning her head much more than I expected. It really made me nervous, fearing she would manipulate her vent tube. She also is grabbing and holding on to her tubes. The nurse assures me that she's not quite strong enough to pull them out, but I still removed her hand gently from them! Her eyes have started to open a little which was so exciting. We are hoping that this week they will open all the way and we will get to look into her eyes for the first time! She is also tolerating 3cc feedings every 3 hours now. This is very good and her weight is now up to 1 lb. 11 oz! Yea!
The doctors are continuing to monitor her lungs on x-ray having to move her vent tube some to effectively ventilate all lobes. We remain hopeful that this will all continue to improve as she grows and the Lord is still developing her.
We would ask that you continue to pray for her lung development and that the atelectasis improves and that they can wean her slowly from the vent. We also want to continue to pray that she do well with her feedings and that she remains infection free.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayers. We have daily experienced God's faithfulness in answering them and feel His presence always. We remain confident that He is in control and will continue the good work He has started.

Thomas looks adorable in his Auburn outfit! Sorry our awesome football team had to go and ruin the weekend ... I'm glad he wasn't deterred!
Thanks for posting the video of Lily's eyes opening ... we are so excited that she's getting to see mommy & daddy now.
We're praying for her lungs!
