July 4, 2006 11:30 am

Hey everyone! We got a little nervous late yesterday afternoon and last night, as the doctors adjusted her vent settings several times and her sats began dropping. We were not able to see her from 7:15-11:00pm while doctors performed a procedure on another baby. This was a very long wait for us!!! When we left about 11:30 we were told that they would not make any further changes and let her rest. However, this morning we were surprised to learn that they removed the vent and started the C-pap. She seems to be doing very well with it! They have also removed the light for jaundice. She also had to have a blood transfusion (10 cc) last night. We were told several days ago that this would probably be necessary. They are increasing her feeds to 5 cc today, so we hope she will begin "putting on the ounces" soon!!!! Overall, we are very pleased with her progress! Thank you for your continued prayers! We hope you have a great 4th of July!!!


Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

I'm sure changing her to the C-pap was very unexpected, but I'm glad it's working. She's up to a teaspoon already! That's great!
We'll pray those ounces start
coming on her. She's a real fighter! Rest when you can.
Love to you all, Nancy

We have been out of town for a couple of days and couldn't wait to log on when we got back to see what wonderful things God is doing in Laurie's life. We are excited to hear her progress. We continue to keep ya'll in our prayers.
