Update Saturday Sept 6

Faith did not have a very good day yesterday. She was acting lethargic, destating hard, and her blood pressure was low. The doctors think she may have an infection, because her platelets were also low. They have put her back on antibiotics for the infection and dopamine for her BP. She did well overnight. Her color is better and she is moving more. Hopefully the antibiotics and platelets will finally send her in ther right direction.

Ashleigh had a pretty uneventful day on Friday. Mom tried to breast feed her and she did well. Her weight was up only a few grams. She is now 4lbs 6oz. The nurses put her in a standard crib on Wednesday. She kept her temp up for about 24 hours, but she had to go back to the isolette. Over the past few days she has really become more alert and looks around. It is very cool when she smiles.

Thank you guys for sharing all of this. I just realized how hard it must be to put into words everything that you're experiencing. It really does help us know how to pray and what to wish for.

Good vibes to the girls...a regular crib! Even though it wasn't long term, a regular crib seems incredible!

Love you!
