Quick snapshot between taking out vent tube and starting C-Pap! Sorry so blurred!

I'm finally on the C-pap again and can enjoy my "pappy"!

Good afternoon everyone! God continues to answer our prayers! This morning during rounds the doctors decided to try Laurie off the vent. She has been on the C-pap since about 11:30 a.m. and seems to be doing well! The C-pap is a technique where a tube is placed in her nose and oxygen under pressure is blown down into the lungs. As many of you know this is Laurie's second time on the C-pap. The last time she was on it for about 13 days before going back to the vent. We are praying that Laurie's lungs are now more developed and she will not have to go back to the vent! Laurie also weighed in last night at 2 pounds!!! Thanks to all of you who continue to keep up with Laurie's progress and pray for her growth. We would not have made it this far on our journey without your love, support, and prayers! Please continue to pray for Laurie's lungs to grow and develop.

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

Yay - two pounds! Praise God for those extra ounces. They're adding up fast! Thanks for the explanation on how she is weighed. I figured it was something simple like that. :)
