Doubled Up


Too bright...

pulling on tube...



Lily has officially doubled her birth weight and more. She is a whopping 2lb. 13oz.!! Yea, let's keep those pounds coming. She has had several big days this week. She is still on high flow nasal cannula at 1 liter and doing well. She seems to enjoy it a little too much and actually forgets to breathe etc... She has had several episodes of apnea and bradycardia especially today which of course makes me nervous, but her nurse says this is normal for her but will continue to monitor her closely. We are still waiting for the second eye exam, so continue to pray for good results with that. They also decided to stop her Lasix today, so pray that her lungs do well without it and that she doesn't begin to hold onto fluid. All in all she is doing amazing and we are so thankful and blessed, but at the same time it is so difficult to have her so far away from us. I know the homecoming is in sight and just keep praying that it is sooner than later. Thanks for your prayers and support.

It is so amazing to hear how well Lily is doing. We continue to pray that God would keep Lily healthy, and that he would give you and Greg the strength to get through everyday. My pregnancy is marching along (almost 27 weeks). I often think about you when I get a good swift kick, and remember to be thankful for God's grace and say a prayer for you all.
