Ashleigh is still doing very well. Tomorrow is her last day of her antibiotic for the staph infecton. She self extibated 2 days ago and was on CPAP for 20 hours. She was having a hard time breathing on her own so they put her back on the ventilator yesterday morning. They have increased her feedings to 5cc's every 3 hours starting 2:00 a.m. tomorrow. She opened her eyes a couple of times while I was visiting today. The nurse took an awesome picture of her that I will see if we can get onto the site for everyone to see. Her weight is 1100 grams or 2 lbs. 6-1/2 ozs.
Faith's chest tube fell out this morning however the gas built up in her lungs again so they had to put the tube back in. Most likely she will have it for another couple days. She is now only on medication for her blood pressure. They are planning on starting her on 1cc of breastmilk tomorrow. She was less puffy today and seemed to be resting well. She continues to be fisty and doesn't liked to be messed with. Daddy definitely has the touch with Faith. Her heart rate goes down and she is very content when he is touching her. She is already Daddy's girl!!!!!
Love to all!
Michelle

I'm thrilled to hear that Ashleigh is responding well to her treatments. That little Faith is certainly going to be a handful. Seems like she has already figured out how to be obstinate and do it "her way!"
Love,
Mere
