As neonatologist Dr. Needelman says, "Chloe is doing great!" Thanks to my cousin Megan's prayers, Chloe is pooping a lot--4 times alone yesterday. What a relief it is to me to see consistent pooping. That was a constant worry with Cate. She now weighs 3lb, 9oz. We are hoping she starts gaining weight soon. They say it can take a week to 10 days for them to start gaining weight. She is still on i.v. fluids, but a step down from what she was on. They may take her off i.v. fluids completely tonight. Then she will be getting just breastmilk through her feeding tube. She is now at 21 cc's every 3 hours. But the biggest news is that they just took her off heated high-flo. She is breathing room air just like you and me, no oxygen, no support. So far she is doing great without it. Please pray that that continues. I will try to post some pictures tonight. Our internet hasn't been working away from home so I have had trouble making time getting them posted.
A quick note on Cate... She is also doing great! She now has two toofers! Both are on the bottom. So cute. We are now able to put her in her crib without rocking her to sleep first. She decided to grow up before her sissy comes home. Thanks for checking in on us.

Yay for poop! Glad to hear all is going well. I can't wait to see more pictures of Chloe and of Cate's toofers!
GREAT great news! I'm glad the poop prayers worked. :) We are quite familiar with prayers for pee pee and poopy, so we know the importance of it all.
I'm so glad your two precious little girls are doing so well. I can't wait to see pics of the two of them lovin' on each other.
I hope you and Duke are getting enough rest! I wish we were closer so we could help out in some way.
