Today is a very good day! Cate is a fighter. When we went down to visit her this morning, they said they took her off the ventilator. They have a CPAP in her nose, which helps her breathe, but she is doing most of the breathing on her own. Her bili rubin light is now gone, so she doesn't have to wear sunglasses anymore. With the ventilator off she can cry, so we heard her cry for the first time today. She also sneezed. They started giving her my milk today, which she seems to be taking well. They will be doing an ultrasound of the brain tomorrow. Please pray that this goes well. Thanks everyone for your support!

We will say some prayers for a good ultrasound. It's a great sign that she is tolerating your milk! Also a great sign that she is off the vent. What a little fighter she is, indeed.
The hospital can be a tiring place. Get rest when you can. We are thinking about you and praying for you all the time.
You do not know me, but I learned about your sweet baby through Megan Porta. I just wanted to reach out to you, as my twin boys were born at 29 weeks gestation, weighing only 2 pounds 13 ounces, and 1 pound, 9 ounces. I know how difficult it is to see your little one so small and vulnerable. I just want you to know that although the NICU is a rollercoaster, things only get better. After going through this, you will appreciate that little one more than you could ever imagine.
My boys are now 19 months old and were completely caught up to full term kids in both weight and development. They are perfectly happy and the memories from the NICU grow more distant each day. Soon your little lady will be home with you, where she belongs. Please let me know if you have any questions or just need to talk with someone who truly understands what you are going through.
These little ones are such fighters! She will show you that everyday and even more when she is a toddler :)
Blessings,
