Hello, Laurel friends! Laurel had a pretty good day, today. She got a great snuggle in with her daddy today for about two hours. She offered us another poopocalypse which was in addition to the one she sprung on her overnight nurse this morning. In spite of all of that, she still managed to gain 50 grams, putting her up to an even 1700 grams, or 3.75lbs. At 1800 grams, she will transition to a big-girl bed, a regular crib. We might even get to start giving her some toys to play with since shes so coordinated with her movements. How exciting! She had some minor changes to her ventilator this morning to start preparing her to come off of it next week. She will start steroids again next week and the hope is that she can come off of the ventilator and go back onto the bubble C-PAP. Its been great fun to be able to pick out her outfits every day and to be taking care of her-- more and more she is feeling like a regular baby. Shes able to fit in standard Preemie sized clothes we find at WalMart or Target. She seems to be very bright and interested in people. Please pray for her lungs to continue to strengthen-- for her to be able to come off the ventilator smoothly this time and that she will be able to avoid the apneic spells and bradys that shes had in the past. Pray for our family to stay healthy. Pray for Laurel to continue to grow and that she will continue to grow while on the steroids. Thank you for your prayers; its been an encouraging few days. Please pray for the encouragement to continue. Goodnight!
