She had her eye exam today which didn't show anything new... she remains on the high flow oxygen but they decreased it to 2 liters. She now weighs 4lb 7 oz. She continues to take the bottle pretty well but hasn't really breastfed well in the last few days... gotta work on that. She's doing fabulous!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the LORD appeared to them, and the glory of the LORD shown around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, " Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; He is CHRIST the LORD. 12 This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly hosts appeared with the angel, praising GOD and saying, "Glory to GOD in the highest and on earth peace to men on whom HIS favor rests."
Luke 2:8-14
Hope you have a Merry Christmas!!!

She's Doing So Well

Emma continues to do well. Drank all of here bottle again today, no real problems. Weight was 4lb 2oz- we lost a few ounces because they are giving her a diuretic... She has been very swollen for a few days now and they were trying to let her little system get rid of all the fluid but she just couldn't keep up. She continues to grow a little bit everyday!!!

What a big girl!!!

Emma continues to grow everyday. She is now at 4lb 1oz, up to 32cc every 3 hours on her feedings and the last 2 times I have fed her she has taken the whole bottle!!! It took her some time to learn what to do but she has the hang of it now!!!! She has such a beautiful personality already and I can't wait for everyone to meet her!!!

And HE does it again..

The results from Emma's MRI scan came back yesterday and were negative!!! There is no damage we can see on the scan!!! Such a HUGE praise and a weight lifted from our shoulders!! She continues to do very well. Still on IV antibiotics, feedings to 30cc/hr and still breastfeeding once a day and bottle feeding once a day... Daddy even gave her a bottle last night!!!! Weight is 3lb 15 oz. She's doing great!!!
