Faith seems to be more content being with her sister. The doctors have been able to get her off some of the medications, remove some IV lines, and she has started eating breast milk. She is still touchy and on high ventilator settings, but looks more restful. The girls heart rates seem to sync up frequently.
Ashleigh has been very happy to have her sister back. She pulled out her tube again. They put her on CPAP(pressurized nasal ventialtor), but she was still unhappy. They tried a regular nasal canula, and she seems to like it. So Ashleigh is currently off the ventilator and just on oxygen. This may be temporary as she may tire, but it is a step in the right direction. If she stays off they may start feeding her by bottle. She also seemed much less stressed and a lot more alert.

Todd - looks like I've been out of the loop since leaving TRW. Amanda just sent me the link to this site. I'm sorry to hear all you and Michelle are going through but reading about the strength those girls have is nothing short of AMAZING - God is definitely holding them in the palm of his hand! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and to all the other NICU families.
