Good Morning, Good Morning!

I arrived at the Hospital and was greeted by a wonderful surprise! The Drs have taken out all of her IV lines out of her Belly Button! Thank You Jesus! She does have what they call a PIC line in her arm but that is normal. A PIC line is like a central line for all IV fluids directly in a large vein/artery. This is necessary for now until no more IV fluids are needed.

Since they have the IV lines out, she can now be placed on her little Tummy!!! This is allowed in the Hospital as there are Nurses monitoring her 24 hrs a day and she is hooked up to monitors if anything was to change! This position right now really helps her in her breathing! Mommy was really glad to see her looking more comfortable in a new position! She was passed out! I think she is taking after her Daddy with the sleeping on her Tummy! :O)

Also because they took the feeding line out of her Tummy, She can now began eating! They started her on 1 Milliliter of Breastmilk ever 3 hrs. Dr Patel advised that this is our next hurdle in her care. Her intestines are not supposed to be ready to receive food for at least another 3 months if not longer so her insides are not mature! They are just watching her closely right now to make sure that she does not develope any probles with her intestines! Please continue to pray for her help and for healthy organs during this next hurdle! Thank you Jesus for Beautiful Healthy Baby! :O)

Our Angel now weighs a whopping 1lb 5 oz! Yay! We like weight gain! :O)

God Bless
