Positive news today. This weekend Cate was taken off the CPAP and is now breathing on her own with a high-flow nasal cannula. I can't believe she has made it this far! She is doing the work herself. This is such a huge step! It is now much easier to hold her (Kangaroo skin to skin) which we took advantage of yesterday and today. Grandma Cathy, Mom & Dad were able to hold her on Saturday for about 3 hours total. I (Dad) held her today for over an hour. We did have another NEC scare this afternoon as Cate spit up green. They did an immediate x-ray which came back normal. :) So for now things are looking up though she is still not 100% tolerating her tube feedings???? Thanks everyone!!! More later :)

Hooray! We're so happy to hear the great news. She is quite a cutie!
YAY Cate!!!!!!! This is such a HUGE step in getting home. We used to absolutely love the Kangaroo care with the boys. There has been a lot of research that babies do so much better with Kangaroo care. Enjoy holding your little sweetie!!
Thanks for the updates! You will be in our prayers!
She is such a little doll! That is absolutely wonderful news that everyone got to spend some time holding her and that she is doing so well! What an amazing little girl!!! We will keep you in our prayers... Take care!
Praise God! He is so good! Cate is truly a trooper. I am sure you all felt such an overwhelming love as she is continuing to progress every day. Keep it up Cate! We are all praying for you.
