Visit with Dad
I just got back from visiting Emma. She had a sponge bath earlier this evening, and was working on her tan (aka phototherapy). While she's still on a ventilator (and will probably be so for a while), she's breathing a regular air mixture and her oxygen saturation has risen to 96% plus. Emma's also getting 1cc of mom's breast milk every four hours and appears to be tolerating it well. Apparently she's fairly active and has been peeing up a storm!
In summary, our little fighter is doing well!

Eric! that's the greatest way to start off my day by reading that entry! You Rock Emma! keep up the fight!

Wonderful news. I'm glad to hear they're giving her breastmilk - the best thing for her and a way to connect to mom. I pray you'll be able to hold her soon.

"Working on her tan"... that's good! And peeing, also good. When she burps, it'll be "all systems go".
