No Good Title for Today...
Well, Liz, Emma and I had a pretty good weekend. Liz is healing and trying to enjoy her last couple days before she goes back to school on Monday. Emma is just eating, breathing and growing. I am studying as hard as I can... I know that some of my professors have this blog address, so I hope you are lenient when grading my exams!
Emma has been doing pretty well this weekend. She is now eating 3ml milk every two hours, which is great. If she keeps eating (and gaining weight) she will be off her IV soon. In addition, Emma should be off her UV light within a day or so. Those are the next two steps we have to look forward to over the next couple weeks.
Emma's lungs are continuing to improve little by little. We have been told by several doctors that often a premature baby's lungs will do well the first week or so, only to have a slight downturn with the lungs for a while. So, we are currently in the downturn, but she is continuing to do well.
Emma's murmur continues not to be present, which is great. In addition, while Emma was at her birth weight this morning, the doctors anticipate that Emma will start to put on weight.
On a pleasant note, our nurse tonight told us that "Emma will make it"... while I'm not reading too much into her statement, it is always nice to have a trained medical professional express optimism. Oh, and Liz helped with a diaper change!
and, back due to high demand... more foot shots!

Hi Emma, Liz and Chad. Notice I put the important ones first. I'm so glad that Emma and Liz are doing fine. Our prayers have been with you. Hope everything continues to go well. Maybe if everything goes ok I could swing over to Madison while I'm up in Iowa after Christmas. Good luck, Uncle Lyle
