Kaia is now home from the hospital, and relaxing comfortably, albeit with a touch of sadness as we had always expected the baby would come with us. She already wants to head back to the hospital this evening.
Lauren's condition this afternoon was stable. The good news is that she is absorbing the breast milk, and peeing like a champ. She continues to breath on her own, with less A/B's. We will know more about her heart condition in the next few days, and we remain confident that we will see some improvement in her blood pressure.
We continue to be amazed at all of the technology being utilized to help keep her alive. It all looks very scary at first, but we have come to embrace all of the machines as de-facto caregivers for us while we are not there.
Again, thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. It really helps to keep our spirits up...
Keep the faith,
Grant

Grant, Thank you so much for creating this blog. It really helps to be able to read your comments and not be pestering anyone with all our questions. It helps to read about Connor's interests too, keeps us grounded and smiling. We continue to keep you all in our thoughts.

Kaia, Grant, Connor and Lauren,
Our hearts go out to you! We've been thinking of you since we heard from Heather last night. Little Lauren is very fortunate to have such strong and loving parents to be there for her through this and through everything her life to come. Please let us know if we can bring you a meal one of these nights (or arrange to have one delivered) and if you would like us to take Connor one of these days. Jeremiah would love a playdate and it might give you both some extra sleep. We're praying for all of you!
Love,
Chris, Heather and Jeremiah
Grant, you are a great storyteller as you share this journey with all of us. Thanks very much for doing so.
Hugs to Connor, Kaia and you.

Kaia, Grant, Lauren and Connor,
You must know that you have soooo many friends and family sending love and positive thoughts your way. Lauren sounds like quite a strong little one in the mold of her fantastic parents. Thanks for keeping all of us informed in this clever way. Take care! We send lots of hugs and love.
