Eight weeks!

Wow, time has flown by! It seems like yesterday we were pacing the halls of the hospital and crying out to God to keep Mylah in her mommy at least for a couple of days so the steroids would work. He was faithful to answer our prayers then and He continues to be faithful today as He will in the future.

Today she hit the FIVE pound mark! Five pounds seemed so far away when she was born! She is trying to learn to nurse and/or drink from a bottle and is doing well as they continue to turn down her oxygen levels.

She still has a few desats and bradies but as she gains weight that should all stop.

Now comes the hard part, since she is getting so big and doing well our anxiousness has kicked in and we want her home! She is close we know and we don't want to rush it but we long for the day that she is in our arms in her home!

As you think of her please pray that her strength would continue to grow and that she would begin to eat on her own.  The nurse said that one day a light bulb would just go off in her head and she would begin to eat without choking or forgetting to breathe while she eats. So this is what we need to be praying about now!

Thanks again faithful warriors and we look forward to sharing her with you all!

 

She sleeps with her mouth open just like her daddy!!!
