Great Progress!

Today was full of great progress. We tried Caroline on a bottle for the first time, again, just to see what would happen. She of course took it like a pro. The nurse said, "Let's give her about 20 minutes and if she doesn't do well, we will give it to her in her feeding tube." Well, in typical Caroline style, she was finished with the entire bottle in 7 minutes flat and was asking for more. As of right now, she has taken 3 bottles and they increased the amount by 10 cc's today alone. This little girl wants to go home as badly as we do. She needs to get to 2 - 3 ounces at a feeding and as of right now, she is just over one ounce at a feeding.

They also decreased her oxygen support today and she has maintained all her good levels. The nurses that had her down in the PICU have come up to visit her today. She is known as the little miracle baby around here. Everyone is just amazed at how far she has come in such a short amount of time. Remember, she looked like this just a week ago . . .

This is a picture of Caroline Skyping the boys. How cute is that?!?! They don't care a bit about Jesse or me. They just want to see their sister!

Thank you for your faithfulness in your prayers for our family. They are felt by all of us and it is clear that God is hearing them and answering them! Praise be to God!
