Thanks and an update

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for sending thoughts and prayers our way in the days since Cora's birth.

We are doing pretty well, learning what life is like with a baby in the NICU. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday so today I started commuting back and forth from home to spend my days with Cora.

Cora is doing great. She is breathing room air and learning to eat. Every day the doctors increase her breastmilk intake and so far she has tolerated it very well. We are hoping to see her gain weight and grow very soon. Everyone on her medical team is impressed with her progress which is wonderful news to us. She is very alert and has a strong grip with her tiny fingers. Best of all, I get to hold her for several hours every day-great therapy for both of us!

I hope all of you are doing well--we are sending you all thoughts for long healthy pregnancies.

I am so glad to hear good news!!!

Cora is kicking butt!!! I'm sending lots of prayers that she keeps up the progress. Also praying that Mommy and Daddy stay strong, right along with her.

So glad are both doing well, and that you have been discharged. Sending thoughts and prayers to your family. Hope it is a relatively short NICU stay!

Cora must take after her mommy with all that strength and determination she has!

My thoughts are with you all through this time. Best of luck, and I hope Cora's outstanding progress continues.

Lots of thoughts and prayers to you. I hope from the bottom of my heart that you have an uneventful NICU stay. I hope it's as short as possible. I'll be thinking of sweet Cora and YOU. Make sure to try to take care of yourself and know that you don't have to be strong all the time (I found that to be the hardest part of the NICU experience). Big hugs.
