(Good afternoon! Laurie is having another good day. The doctors increased her feeds to 35 cc every 3 hours and we will try 3 bottle feeds today. Laurie gained 10 grams last night, but still weighs 4 lbs. 2 oz. and is 16 1/2 inches long. She has also come down to 26% on her OE settings. Late yesterday afternoon the ophthalmologist examined Laurie's eyes again and the ROPretinopathy of prematurity) does seem to be progressing. Another ophthalmologist will come by sometime today to go over treatment options for Laurie, which could be medication or laser surgery. Thank you so much for your continued love, support, and prayers. God has blessed and provided for us through your kind gestures! Please continue to pray for Laurie's eyes!

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

Glad that you had a good weekend. Good to know that Laurie has grown in length as well. 16 l/2 inches is a big girl!!
We will continue to pray for Laurie's eyes. God is looking down on this precious little girl and has continually given us answered prayers. We know that He will continue to do so.
Love,
The Kings

What a big girl!! She is growing so fast. Just curious, what effect will the eye condition have on her future ability to see?

She is so cute! Each day so much
changes with her. Randy's Bible
study group prays for Laurie every
Wednesday morning. We will pray
especially about her vision. I did
not know they could do lasik on one
so small. I'm glad you have options
and we'll be believing God will
heal those little pretty eyes and that she will have excellent vision. We all know by now that
nothing is too hard for God. love,
Nancy
