Happy New Year














































Here are some good pictures of Cate. She is now 3lbs 10oz. Cate's Dr told us that her brain ultrasound looks normal :) We are still waiting for radiology to confirm this. So it does not appear she has PLV or Cerebral Palsy. She does have Stage 1 for Retinopathy of Prematurity. She will have another eye exam in 2 weeks. Cate is taking up to 6 oral feedings a day and it is really amazing to see a baby that small work so hard. She is so determined to take these feedings that it affects her the following day and we get an exhausted baby. Yesterday she was so drained they had to put her back on oxygen for about 16 hours. We need her to save that energy and grow. We are being told Cate could go home in 2-4 weeks if she stays healthy and keeps growing. She needs a little more fat :) Hope everyone had a great week! Thanks for your prayers and support :)
