This is a picture that I took this morning at the hospital. Azriel is doing very well. Still on just the nasal canula and monitors. They have upped her feedings to 20cc's plus a human milk fortifier that they add to my breastmilk. This should help her put on some real weight. She is down to 2lbs 7oz, but we are told that this is ok. She was so horribly swollen when she was born that they are sure all her weight loss is fluid.

I got to give her a bath today for the first time. She was so wide awake after. She was looking at me as I was talking to her. It is so cool that she recognizes my voice. If I talk to her when she is fussy she calms down. That does a mommy's heart good.

Please continue to pray for her growth and the growth of her lungs. Pray for the doctor's and nurses that are in charge of her care. Fell free to pray for anything else as you feel led.

Thank you to everyone for all of the prayers you have been offering up for our family. We have definately felt them and we love you all for it.

God Bless,

Lisa
