Little Bitty

Emma Claire has had a great couple of days. Her PDA is still open, but the doctors are monitoring it right now. They want to continue to watch it and give the medicine time to work. Emma still weighs 1 lb 8 oz (680 grams) and we can definitely tell she is gaining weight, PRAISE GOD!!
Emma is now getting 11 cc every three hours with 28 calorie feedings. She is getting more breast milk than formula which is a HUGE answered prayer. Everything else is pretty much the same. They have gone down a bit on her ventilator settings, she is only getting 40 breaths a minute and they decreased some of her other settings as well which is AWESOME!!
We continue to pray she grows each and every day and cannot wait for the day we can bring her home and show her off to our family and friends....what a GLORIOUS day that will be!
Please continue to pray her PDA will close on its own and we will not have to have surgery to close it.
Psalm 30:5 ~ Weeping might endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning
