September 2, 2008

Good afternoon! Laurie is having another great day. The nurse practitioner decided to try her off of the nasal canula and on oxygen environment (OE) only. This is just oxygen pumped into her isolette with Laurie doing all the breathing on her own. She is still having her normal de-sats, but seems to be tolerating the OE very well. They have also increased her feeds again to 25 cc every 3 hours. She gained another ounce last night and now weighs 3 lbs. 4 oz.! I hope you all have had a great Tuesday back to work! Enjoy the four day week! Thanks for continuing to check on Laurie and for your prayers!

NOTHING in my nose!
Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

What a great day you've had! Yay,
Laurie! I'm so excited about the
OE. It has to feel so good to get
that out of her nose! Please pray for Randy tomorrow. He has to have
surgery. Love, Nancy

I'm so proud of our little Laurie! I know she is glad to have the canula out of her nose!! I'm so glad I was able to see her Sunday and visit with you! As Cole says, "Birmingham is a long way away!" but it's so nice to get to visit and see our precious baby! I only hope the next time I see her will be in ENTERPRISE!!! And I know you are looking forward to that day, too!
Have a great week this week - just the two of you! Give her a kiss for me! I love you both!

So good to see Laurie's face with nothing in her nose. Know that has to feel so much better. She is really packing on the ounces now. We compared the earlier pictures with the more recent ones and you can see her grow before your eyes.
Prayers are answered daily!
Love,
