2 pounds 4 ounces

Ella is now 2 pounds 4 ounces(1020 grams)!! Our little girl is growing by leaps and bounds and eveyone here is sooo excited. So far, her blood sugar has been higher than before and they still have not had to take the blood for the tests. Continue to pray that her glucose levels remain stable and they never have to take the blood (it means an additional IV line and giving her a blood transfusion because of the large amount needed). Lungs are doing well, but they still need to grow just like the rest of her. The tube in her throat has not been bothering her lately(thank you, Jesus) so pray that is stays this way until they can remove it. We are still working with her taking a bottle, but lately she has not been as excited as she was in the beginning, so pray that she gets stronger and is able to get her nurishment from the bottle or breast instead of the feeding tube. (this could delay her going home if she isn't able to do it).
