We have just a quick second to update the blog. Lauren is growing by leaps and bounds and is now 4 lbs, 2 oz. As you may know, they took her off the bubble Cpap machine a few days ago, but, unfortunately, she wasn't quite ready to be off the machine. So, she is back on it, and they will try again next week to ween her off of it.

Additionally, she was screened for ROP, which is an eye problem common in preemies, and her eyes seem to be developing normally. We are currently working on a potential hypothyroid issue, and should have more results next week. So, forward we go, as we brace for the next wave of issues, which we hope will be easily resolved.

We can't thank you enough for your continued well wishes.

Over 4 pounds! Congrats, little Lauren. And great news on her eyes. What color are they, by the way? I was wondering that the other day.

Love to you all,
Lor

Four pounds + Hooray!
Hope you all are feeling much better and had a good Valentine's Day. The new house looks gorgeous, but the people in the pix are the most gorgeous! :)
Take care and God Bless you ... Hope Lauren's newest hurdles go smoothly. She is amazing little baby girl! At least half of Colorado (+rest of the world), is still praying for her!
Much Love,
Nora and Dean

What great photos! Congratulations to Lauren on nursing, and congratulations to all of you on Lauren's continued growth and improvement. It will be wonderful for Lauren to settle into the new house as well and have her very own room for the first time! That time will come before you know it!!
