Good morning everyone! Laurie had a very good night and they will be taking out her other umbilical cord line sometime today. She is still on the C-pap using 40-50% oxygen. They are going to increase her feeds again today, probably 1cc at a time, and discontinue all other supplements, so she will only be getting breast milk. She weighs 1 lb. 3 oz. today. So, not a lot of changes today, but she continues to do well. Now we just need time for her grow and wean off of the C-pap. Thanks again for your continued prayers and support!

Love to all!
Todd, Leah, Cole and Laurie

Hi Leah and Todd,
First and formemost, you are in mine and my family's prayers. We will also get you added to our prayer list at church. Are you accepting visitors while in Bham? If so, I would like to stop by and check on you. Let me know if you need me to bring you anything since I live nearby.

In Him,
Kevin Dewberry

Good Afternoon,
I imagine Laurie will start gaining some ounces with the increase of milk. Every day she
makes more progress. My mother-in-
law said they prayed for Laurie in
church yesterday at St. Luke.
The new Teacher Tools in Enterprise is finally opened. Think
if you need anything for the sub to
start out and I'll get it. Call me
if you do. Love ya, Nancy

A link to your story was posted through a friend on Cafemom.com and I came to see your journal. As a mom of a preemie (not nearly as premature as yours) and a survivor of preeclampsia, I understand the long and exhausting hospital stays.

Although we are strangers, we are bonded through the miracle of childbirth. Your family and that beautiful baby girl are in my prayers.

God bless
