Hello! We are having another great day! During rounds the doctor decided to leave Laurie on the C-pap, but will try to discontinue her rate and pressure today. They will also increase her feeds again. Last night she weighed 680 grams (1lb. 8oz.)!!! For the last several days, Laurie has enjoyed laying on her tummy and really will not lay on her back anymore (Not sure what we'll do about this when we get home, since she is suppose to sleep on her back)! She decided last night that the nurse had her facing the wrong direction, so she picked up her head (C-pap and all) and turned her head to the other side! She did this twice while mother and I were with her. She is strong for such a little girl!!! Just a little of that "Killingsworth strong-will"! We are so thankful for the growth and improvements she is making. God continues to bless us each day!


Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

When we brought Drew home, we used
these soft triangular wedge pillows
to keep him where we wanted him, but back then they let him lay on
his side. It is amazing how strong
those little babies are! I'm happy
Laurie's doing so well and gaining
weight. You are all in our prayers and we thank God for all He
has done and will continue to do
in Laurie's life. love, Nancy

Hi,
So good to get the blog today and hear that she is doing so good. It was great seeing her last week. As everyone says, you can't begin to imagine how little she is until you see her. Sounds like she is going to be an active one with a mind of her own!!! Hope you and Nancy have a good week .
Love, Judy

She IS stong! I'm happy to hear she's doing so well - and gaining weight. What a tremendous praise! Harriet Glenn from church asked me to let you know she is praying for you all. She said she tried to log in and leave a comment but was unable to so I'm passing her regards along to you all.

Love and prayer,
