Elizabeth is still doing well on her CPAP. She has surprised everyone, who thought for sure she would be back on her vent after a day of CPAP (of course she can go back at any time, her lungs are still very premature). Now that Elizabeth is off the vent we are able to hold her, today I kangarooed with her for the third time. Matt is planning on holding Elizabeth for the first time tomorrow.
The big news of the day is that Elizabeth has finally pooped! Never has this event been more celebrated! She had three dirty diapers, two while I was there so I helped to change her. Elizabeth is still tolerating her feedings for the most part, now that her digestive tract is moving better, hopefully she will improve more.
A few people have asked if Elizabeth has opened her other eye. She has, she did it on the same day just later that night. The following day was her heart surgery so it had slipped my mind and I never posted that event.
As I watched Elizabeth sleep on my chest today, I was struck by the thought that I was holding a true miracle. Thank you all so much for your continued prayers and support, it means the world to all of us. Elizabeth is a testament to power of prayer, as one of our pastors, Pastor Mike, said “God is still in the miracle business.” How true that is!
