Todd's Alabama football player and my Auburn cheerleader!
Laurie was tired out after our Halloween photo shoot!
Well, as you can see from the pictures we have had another busy week! Laurie turned 4 months old on Tuesday and we celebrated with a trip to see Dr. Brown. He was happy with her progress this week. Her congestion is much better and she is back on a 3 hour feeding schedule. She continues to gain ounces, weighing 6 lbs. 11 oz. on Tuesday!!! She is also having very few de-sat spells and is going for short periods of time with no oxygen! Another hearing screening was done with Laurie still not passing in her right ear, so we will see an ENT this coming Tuesday (11/4/08) for further testing.
On Thursday night Todd stayed home with Laurie and I was able to take Cole to the Fall Festival at his school. He had so much fun and I enjoyed getting to see many of you! It was so nice to get out of the house again (without going to a doctor's office)! Friday night, Cole suited up again for trick-or-treating with cousin, Jack and again today for the Fall Festival at Mrs. Judy's church. Needless to say, we have enough candy to last until Christmas!
Mother, Mrs. Judy, Laurie and I will go back to Birmingham on Monday for follow-up appointments with Dr. Fiest, the ophthalmologist, and the pulmonologist, Dr. Lyrene. Dr. Fiest will be checking to see if Laurie needs further treatment for her ROP (either another injection of Avastin or laser surgery). This will be our first time seeing Dr. Lyrene at the BPD (bronchopulmonlary dysplasia) clinic. We will be seeing him once a month for now, so that he can monitor Laurie's oxygen settings, medications, and treatments for BPD. Laurie will also have another chest x-ray to see how her lungs are progressing. On Tuesday, we will have two other appointments in Dothan. Laurie will have her monthly Synagis shot and will also see the ENT for her hearing. Please continue to pray for Laurie's lung development, vision, and hearing! Also, please pray for our travel safety to appointments this coming week! We are so thankful for your continued support!
Love,
Todd, Leah, Cole, and Laurie

The pictures are ADORABLE!! Laurie seems to be progressing beautifully! Her cheerleader suit is just too precious (although I prefer Cole's team)!! As always, you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

So glad to hear of Laurie's progress and weight! Cole looks like the proud big brother! We continue to pray for Laurie's hearing, vision, and lung development. She has come such a long way! Glad you got to go to the school carnival w/Cole. I'm sure it did you both good to have time together. We are keeping up, and you all are always on our minds, in our hearts and prayers!
Love to all,

Cute pictures! Glad Laurie is progressing so well. I will pray for your upcoming doctors' visits. Please update again when you can.
We saw Cole yesterday at the fall festival and thought he was cute in his Bama uniform. He seemed to have a good time at the festival. Laurie is so precious in her pictures!! I just love that Auburn cheerleader outfit!! We continue to pray for her daily and are praying for her vision, lungs, and hearing with the faith in God that He will grant our prayers and that she will grow and be a healthy little girl. God is so good!
Love to all,
