A Great Weekend!

Cailin made it through the weekend on her cannula! In fact, she seems to be doing better on it then she had been doing on the ventilator...and certainly seems happier than she was with that awful-looking CPAP.

More great news - she has started gaining weight again. You may recall she lost a lot of fluid last week from the meds they gave her so she was back to around 2 lbs. But, over the weekend, she gained a little over an ounce. Not significant weight (and she does need significant weight gain) but it shows that even though she is definitely working harder on the cannula, she is still able to gain!

I included 2 pics below. The bottom one is from the day she was on the CPAP...not a flattering picture but for informational purposes :) And the top photo was taken from my phone. Not the best resolution but it does show her pretty little face without that awful tube down her throat!

Thank you again for all your continued thoughts and prayers...they seem to be working!!!

Dear Tim and Lauren

Cailin is beautiful and we are all praying for her speedy growth and ultimate arrival home. I have such respect for you both. Great news that her breathing capabilities have improved. I look forward to more updates and meeting little Cailin someday soon.
