It's here!!!!!
This is the e-mail you have all been waiting for. The discharge plan process has been started for Faith. She should be coming home in the next couple weeks. She looks absolutely amazing! Her color is great, she is focusing and extremely social. She weighs 7 pounds 10 ounces. She is currently on the nasal cannula with an 1/8 of a liter flow and 21 % O2. They are trying to wean her to room air and so far she is tolerating all her weans and maintaining good PH levels and Co2 levels. Her kidney function has leveled out with her creatinine at 1.2 as of today. The doctors are working on a plan for how often she will need to be seen for labs and follow ups as well as what her diet will need to be. She isn't nippling very well so she will come home with the feeding tube so Todd and I have to learn how to put it in and start the feeding.
Ashleigh is doing great. She weighs 10 pounds 8 ounces. She loves to stand and is still daddy's girl! She smiles all the time, loves her swing and is already sleeping 6 straight hours during the night! Such a change for us since Parker was an awful sleeper.
We are very excited our whole family will be together soon. Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers. They have been answered.
Our love to all of you!!
Todd and Michelle

What a wonderful way to start the New Year...and yes, this is what we have all been waiting for. It will be amazing to watch how fast Faith progresses once she is home with her family...just like Ashleigh did.
Hang in there 'Chelle...there is light at the end of this tunnel.
Love and prayers to all.

Congrats Todd and Michelle...you're right, this was the exact email I've been waiting for! When Faith gets into the swing of things and her health with tolerate a visit, little Miss Anneka would like to come visit! Of course, she'll feel like a huge elephant next to your petite girls, but that is okay!;)
Love,
Meredith, Gerrit and Anneka
