So Close!

* Emma was taken off her cannula this morning! She is breathing great and seems much happier!

* She is also bottle feeding every time starting today! Today is a big day for her, so it will take a little time to adjust and build stamina. Her feeding tube will stay in until she has been bottle feeding for 24 hours.

* Emma had another echocardiogram this week and while the hole in the top of her septum is the same size, the overall function of her heart has improved a lot so the diuretics have been helping! We will continue to give them to her until the cardiologist feels it isn't necessary anymore.

* If Emma continues on the road she is on, we are hoping to bring her home by next weekend! Words can't explain how excited we are for this news! Please pray that Emma stays strong, we are so ready to bring her home and start our lives as a family of 4!

No cannula!
 
We finally took Laney in the NICU to meet her little sister Emma for the first time!
She pet her head, then poked her in the eye. We'll have to work on that..
 
Sweet girl
