Day 32 Straight A's

Vince was able to catch Adelina with her eyes open during her switch back to CPAP... we don't get a chance to see her w/o anything on her head and face! Look at all that hair - she has more than her sister!

Adelina's test results were very good yesterday and the prilosec seemed to be helping her with her reflux and belly distention. She gained a little bit today (less than an ounce, but we're counting). She's due for a follow up head x-ray later today to look for any bleeding in her soft spot - let's not get too technical here...


The nurses put up a birthday sign for Addy - we're waiting for the one that says she weighs 2 pounds! Her little area is decorated with a lamb from DL and Julie, cards from everyone, a Saint Gianna baby pendant (thank you), and pictures of her big sister... I just bought her some clothes online from a NICU store - she'll be rocking in pink soon.


Happy 13 months to big sister, Gianna, who found the toilet paper this morning...

Jen and Vince - So happy to see the little girl with her eyes open...what a joy - Keep up the great progress with her, and as always, you are in my prayers. Glad to see that my company's drug (Prilosec) is doing some good for Adelina...
hugs and kisses

Can they pay for the prilosec and write it off as advertisement expense?
