A Great Day: Facebook Update 2

Evie got to switch to a normal ventilator! (She had been on a high-power oscillating ventilator which is pretty uncomfortable, but her blood pressure is now holding steady, her urine production is way up, and the swelling is going down- so they switched her!) Also, Evie got her first little bit of mommy's milk put into her tummy today! Last, Evie's viral load is down to 18,000 from 81,000 at birth, which is also great!

Evie's First Breast Milk!

She still has a long road to go. Her white blood cell count is very low due to the antiviral medication. Her doctors will give her some medicine to try and boost the white blood cell production over the next week- if it doesn't work they'll have to take her off the antiviral med. Please pray that those white blood cells get made!! We want her to get the full 6 weeks of that antiviral med to help reduce the risk of hearing loss later in life!

Evie seems more and more like a healthy baby day by day. She yawns and stretches and even has little hiccups from time to time. Now that her swelling is going down, her features are easier to see. . . and she looks so much like Kabir!!! I LOVE HER SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!
