I do not have the clarity to really write but I don't want to leave people hanging. Ms. Natalie is still doing well in the NICU. She is remains on a vent and is breathing room air. She has also had several blood gases and they are "beautiful." The next two days are a critical time and should be a good indicator of how she will do. So far she is exceeding everyone's expectations!
We are both in such a wonderful state of joyful shock. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming as Natalie begins her NICU journey. I promise to keep updates coming and will hopefully be able to share her birth story soon.
Thank you for sharing. I know how tiring the first few days are. She is beautiful!!
