Hello everyone! Prayers are being answered daily! We have had another great day! Laurie's second head ultrasound was normal! She is on 40-50% oxygen with the C-pap and one of her lines has been taken out of her umbilical cord. They have increased her feeds again to 8 cc. I was able to hold Laurie again for about an hour and she did great being out of the isolette. Although he wasn't ready to leave, Todd went home today. He and Cole are going to try to get back to a somewhat normal routine this week. Please pray for all four of us as we begin this new transition period of seeing each other mainly on the weekends. My mother, Mrs. Judy, sisters, and friends are going to take turns staying here in Birmingham with Laurie and me during the week. Thanks again for all of your love, support, and prayers!

Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

Leah,
I will be thinking of you as Todd
tries to get things somewhat normal
back in Enterprise for Cole. I've
always said moms should get 8 arms
to help them once their kids are
born... it would be great if we could be in two places at one time,
too. Since that's not possible, I'll pray for peace and comfort for you all. What a testimony you
already have. Love, Nancy

Leah,
Just to let you know that lots of prayers are be sent from LaGrange, Georgia!
There is nothing like the gifts of God, your motherly touch and healing love to encourage and comfort Baby Laurie.
Seeing her in your arms makes me cry tears of joy.
