I am one month old today!!!

Hi from the RNICU! Today the doctors are continuing to slowly wean Laurie's rate, pressure, and oxygen levels on the vent! The blood and spinal tap cultures are still negative for infection. Her 30 day brain ultrasound was done last night, but the results are not back yet. Laurie has gained another oz. and now weighs 1 lb. 12 oz. We are celebrating Laurie's 1 month birthday with a quiet day for her lungs to grow and develop. A new friend of another baby in the RNICU made her the cutest birthday hat. I just couldn't resist showing everyone her 1 month birthday pictures!!! Thank you all so much for your prayers over the last month! Please continue to remember Laurie, her nurses and doctors, and the other babies in the RNICU in your prayers!

Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURIE!!!
We sure have been praying for Laurie this past month. We will continue to remember baby Laurie as well as all of you.
So proud that Laurie is continuing to gain weight. You can tell from today's picture that she is really growing.
Glad today is a good day.

Happy Birthday to Laurie! One month
old already. She is a very pretty
baby and I think she looks a bit
like Cole. I am proud of her gaining another ounce, too. We'll
be praying about the lungs and
getting off the vent in God's perfect timing for her. love, Nancy
