Saela had another good day today. She finished two of her antibiotics and her third will finish on Tuesday morning. Through a combination of breast, bottle, and tubefeeding she tolerated enough calories to be able to discontinue nutrition through her IV. She still has a heplock for her last antibiotic - but otherwise has no other IV fluids. If she is eating well, we may be able to bring her home on Tuesday. She needs to be taking most of her meal by either the breast or the bottle and not be needing to be tube fed anymore before she can go home. This may be a hold up for her as she still gets pretty tuckered out after a long day. She should transition from her isolette to a crib tomorrow. It sure is nice to not have any equipment standing at the end of her bed. She had a bath tonight - this picture was taken just shortly after that - seeing her eyes open is so wonderful.Saela is happy that MSU won their first football game of the season. Steve tells me that Saela is also excited about Appalachian States win over Michigan...the world has a new Spartan fan!
Go Green Go White - Have a Great Weekend!

Sandie and I are so happy to see she is doing so much better. We have been praying for her even before her birth. Hope Ben,Kara, and Bill got there safely! We sure hope that she is able to go home with you on Tuesday. Have a great weekend.
