Friday August 1st Second Update

Faith is continuing to improve! They are lowering her blood pressure meds and plan to take out her chest tube tomorrow. Once the tube comes out Todd and I may finally get to hold her. It would be a good stress relief for all 3 of us! She had more pee pee diapers. Now we just need to work on getting her off the ventilator and back on breastmilk. Faith's weight is pretty inaccurate at this point since they pumped her with so much fluid.

Ashleigh is still doing well. She now weighs 2 lbs 5 oz! She is on 2cc's of breastmilk every 3 hours and was resting very comfortably today.

Love
Michelle

What fantastic news. I know we all continue to be cautiously optimistic, but I will pray that you get to hold little Faith soon. God knows I think and pray of you guys each time we feed Anneka. I believe these girls might be connected :)

Absolutely WONDERFUL news! I just love your blog and the fact that we can follow your girls progress.

Just wanted to let you know that the "Beaver Buddies" and their spouses are praying for all of you.

Thank you so much for the updates! I also love the blog for that reason. You, the girls and Parker etc. are all in my prayers. I'm so glad Faith is doing better. Keep hoping in her healing and development. She is definately a fighter. I'm also glad Ashleigh is staying pretty stable. It is always helpful if they are not both having a rough time AT the same time. Love you all.
