Today is Abby's 19th day in the NICU. Yesterday abby had to get a new IV and receive some blood. The Dr. says all in all she is doing pretty good. She weighs 1 pound 8 0zs now. She is still on the ventilator but doing better with that as well. We still have a very long road ahead of us and sometimes it is hard to see the light, but we are trying our hardest to stay positive. They want me to start doing kangaroo care , that is where I hold her skin to skin. Im scared and excited at the same time. On the way home from the hospital yesterday, Abby's brother Ethan says out of the blue " Sister is not sick anymore and she is coming home soon ". He was right when he predicted that I was having a girl and hope he is right about this too. Kids sometimes seem to have a sixth sense about things.
I can already see Miss Abby laughing at Ethan's antics!
