Laurie is two months old today! She did not quite make the 3 lb. mark last night, but is very close at 2 lbs. 15 oz. Maybe at tonight's weigh-in she will get that extra ounce! The doctors have increased her feeds again to 20 cc every 3 hours. Laurie continues to do well on the nasal canula, but does still have her usual de-sats. We pray that she will be able to continue to hold her own with the nasal canula! Today is yet another quiet day for her to grow! Please continue to pray for Laurie's lung development and wisdom for Todd and me has we make decisions about her care.

Gabe Sims's surgery has been canceled for now. There is still uncertainty about how to best proceed with his treatment. As you can imagine, this is very difficult and frustrating for his parents. Please continue to remember their family in your prayers.

Love to all!
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

Happy Birthday, dear Laurie Anne.
I am sure you will gain that other
ounce by tomorrow. Rest and grow,
baby girl. We are holding you in
our prayers just as your heavenly
Father is holding you in His arms.
