ABBY DAY 20

 
Today is Abby's 20th day in the NICU.  She had a really good day.  Despite the icy roads, I had to go to the hospital to see my little angel.  She weighs 1 pound 9 0zs and they are starting to feed her even more.  They were able to wean down her ventilator settings as well.  They let me hold her today for one hour.  I was scared but as soon as she was snuggled up against my chest I felt at ease.  She and I both loved it.  The familiar sound of my heartbeat put her to sleep immediately.  I can't wait until Chad gets to do this as well.  Dr's say she is doing very well and her condition is stable.  The obstacle now, is to keep her free from infections.  She will probably remain on the ventilator until she gains a little more weight and her lungs become stronger.  Keep praying for her to come home to us safely.  Today was a good day !!!
