Emily now weighs 1900 grams (4 lbs, 3 oz)!
She is still on the nasal cannula. Her nurse said that she (Emily, not the nurse) had one brady overnight for which she required stimulation. Dad took these pictures last night. We especially like the first one where it looks like she’s praying. The physical therapist was especially happy to see that because of all of the things it implies developmentally. The other picture is of her second tub bath ever. She doesn’t look thrilled with the prospect, but she seems to like it better than the sponge baths. Her O2 requirements were around 42% this morning, with a flow rate of 2 liters (per minute?). We hope that she can stay on the cannula (It’s been almost 48 hours).

Hey, Emily has come a long way, and it looks very positive. I am praying for you that you get the nicest Christmas present you will ever get: Take Emily home!!
