Yesterday and today I have been a little Lonely. :-(. Mommy and Daddy had to go to Marshall to drop off Nate and Nikki and take care of some things there. They did come by and see me yesterday morning before they left (6am) and then again today when they got home (about 9pm). I forgot to tell you last night that the Nice Nurse that was on duty Thursday Night let Nate and Nikki touch me just for a few minutes so that we would get to know each other a little better. I really liked that and am going to miss them now that they are gone. :-(.

During this time the Dr. said I was doing better and that I could again have more food. YIPEE!!!! Everyone knows how bad hospital food is, I sure am glad I am getting more of Mommy's Milk! They went from giving me 7ML's to 9ML's! Wow what a change! So far I am doing just fine and digesting it with no problems.

The nurse told Mommy and Daddy that they are planning to take me off of the TPN IV (total parental nutrition) when this bag s finished! This means I must be doing good.

OH YEAH!!! I almost forgot... I have GROWN a little!!! I am weighing in at a whopping 1lb12oz now and measure at 13 inches!

Wow, what a day!!!

Mom and Dad had to go home to Lake Jackson today for work and also to pack up Nate and Nikki's stuff so they can go back to Kentucky... I sure am going to miss seeing them, and leting them see me grow everyday!!!

They have again uped my feeding amount. I am now taking 7ML every 3 hours as opposed to 4MLs like it was yesterday.

A couple of special events happened today,

1. Mommy got to feed me through my feeding tube today,
2. Daddy checked my temp.,
3. Nathan and Nikki got to touch me for the first time today since they are leaving tomorrow.
4. Mommy also got to change my poopy diaper. This means I get to keep eating.
5 Daddy got to take a picture of me without all of my hoses on my face. FINALLY, but only one.

We will try to get a few pictures up in the next couple of days. It's really late and Mommy and Daddy have to leave really early in the mornin to drive to Marshall to meet Jere so Bubba and Sissy can go home.

Today I'm doing a little better. The Dr. took me off the ventilator again and I am back on the Cpap Machine.

They also raised my feeding amount to 4ML every 3 hours. I should start gaining weight.

Sorry so short, daddy is tired and will repost later with more interesting details.

This Pic is a few days old, but I'm still cute. Mommy and Daddy forgot their camera today when they came to see me, so this pic is better than nothing. LOL...

Today started off just like yesterday. Up, Down, Up, Down, but finally this after noon I started getting my act together and sorta got things leveled out. WHEW! what a work out, all those constant changes. I didn't know whether I was going or coming.

I'm still on the Ventilator, but I am doing some breathing of my own as well now. My poor little lungs just are not ready for me to be doing all of this on my own. ONE DAY I'LL BE ABLE TO!!!

I am still getting to have some of Mommy's Milk.. In fact, they have raised my dosage. I am getting 3ML's every 3 Hours now!!! Maybe this will help me grow faster!!!

My nurse weighed me today and I weigh 1lb6oz so I have grown a little bit.

Thanks to all my friends and family who are praying for me.

Today I have been acting like my MOMMY!!! I WANT ATTENTION!!!! NOW!!!!! I am making the Nurses come check on me about every 2-5 minutes.. NO JOKE! I can't seem to decide just how much oxygen I need. They turn me up and then I jump up over 100% SAT rate, then they turn me down one notch, and I drop below 84%, sometimes as low as 50%. The doctors want me to stay between 84% and 96% saturation rate (oxygen level in my blood).

I'm still on the ventilator and in fact, I'm so tired I am totally depending on it to do the breathing for me.

Tonight, When Daddy came by to check on me, He didn't want to leave cause I was acting up so bad. Back and forth, Up and Down I really was keeping my nurse on her toes.

Today my Great Grandparents came by to see me. It was the first time I met PaPa Edge. They were on their way home from the reunion so they stopped off in Houston to see me. Papa was really excited and has been talking about me for over two weeks. Infact, he made Mama turn his cookies into a Birthday party for me on Thursday. They didn't have any candles so they used 2 matches instead to celebrate my 2nd Week!!!



We found out today that they have started giving me milk again. YAHOO!!!! I am so glad to get some food! So far I am doing good and digesting it and I've even had a poopy diaper, that means I'm doing good!!



I'm still on the Ventilator, But other than that, everything looks good!!! Except the fact that they constantly are poking my little foot with a needle to draw blood samples... UGH! Daddy don't like that!!!!!!

Mommy, Daddy, Bubba and Sissy went to the EDGE Family Reunion this weekend. They left on Friday evening after coming to visit me in the hospital when Dad got off work, then they got back about 11:30 on Saturday night and came by to visit me. I LIKED THAT!!! I can't wait until I get to go next year. I hear it's so much fun!!

While they were gone, The Doctors took me off of my feedings due to a possible infection in my blood. :-(. I recieved a blood transfusion, and I also got tired of breathing on my own, so they put me back on the Ventilator.

We are still trusting GOD for my complete HEALING! Thanks for all your Prayers!!!

PS. Here is a pic of my diaper beside a pen and a Lip gloss tube... I'm ITTY BITTY!!! But I still got my parents WRAPPED around me!!!!
