September 11, 2008 4:15 p.m.

Good afternoon! Still not a lot to report from the CCN! Laurie is having a great day! Today we are trying to spread out her two bottle feedings so she doesn't tire out so easy. I gave Laurie her
6:30 a.m. feed in a bottle and will try again tonight at her 6:30 p.m. feeding. Last night she only took about half of her 2nd bottle feed before she began de-sating. We decided to stop and give the rest through her feeding tube. We will slowly continue to try increasing her bottle feeds. Hopefully, by next week we can try 3 bottle feeds a day. She is finally putting on the ounces and weighed 3 lbs. 15 oz. last night. She could reach the 4 lb. mark by tonight!! We are also trying to wean her off the oxygen in her OE. Thanks for your continued prayers. We can see them being answered each day! Please pray for Laurie's continued growth and for safe travel as Todd, Cole, and Mrs. Judy come to Birmingham tomorrow.

Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

Sounds like things are going well.
It's getting to be a habit for her
to gain to the next pound when her
Daddy and brother are coming to visit! Have a great weekend! Nancy

She looks amazing - so pink and plump. I scrolled down to look at her first pictures and it's incredible to see how far she's come in such a short time although I know it must seem like ages for you though. She is truly a miracle. Enjoy your weekend - you all are in our prayers.
