Still growing...and growing...

Ella is now 2 pounds 1 ounce today!! She is still doing well on her blood sugar and the level hasn't gone below the number where they have to take blood for the tests. They were able to lower the pressure on her oxygen and she is still doing well on it. We are looking forward to the time when she can get off the nasal canula. We practice with Ella drinking from a bottle or breastfeeding everyday and today we found out that we might have to feed her with an tube down her throat after she goes home if she is not able to drink enough from a bottle. My prayer is that she continues to improve with her sucking so we don't have to use the feeding tube.

Pray that she continues to grow, lungs improve, gets a good report from the eye doctor(Monday), improves her bottle feeding, and sugar levels stay stable.
