Happy Halloween

Hello -

Claire had an eventful Saturday - she completed an echocardiogram to check her heart and she was normal.  She also had lab work which shows a negative blood culture so the tummy issue was caught early and she is recovering well.  The bili lights are off and her color has returned to normal.  Hopefully they will start feeds either later today or tomorrow.  It will be a slow process but hopefully she will do better this time and avoid any additional delays so that she can pack on the weight and grow.  Alan & I think she is bigger and can tell that she is growing, even if it is just a little. 

We will visit Claire this afternoon and hopefully be able to hold her again.  There are just two babies in the NICU now so Claire is getting wonderful care.  Alan plans to take some photos today so we should have some new pictures for your soon.

Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.  We are doing well and watching Claire's progress, one day at a time.  We can't wait until the day that she can come home.  More soon.

xox,
D
