It's a new month for our precious little girl and just 3 days away from her 3 week birthday. She is our precious little angel but we are often told by the Nicu staff that she is fiesty and stubborn. Having an attitude is what gives her the will to live and all the love she has around her, of course! Tomorrow will be a big day for her because the doctors are removing her chest tube. Ryan and I are keeping our fingers crossed, being that this is the second time they removed the tube and the first time it had to go right back in because the hole re opened in just an hour. On a less scary note, she is growing fast and is just short of 2 pounds. She started sucking her thumb a little today and it was adorable!!!. Oh and she has had some big poos. Only mom and dad could be so proud of such big poos. Her feedings are every 3 hours at 6 mls. So tomorrow is another day and we look forward to watching Skylar grow. She is truly our little miracle and we couldn't be happier.
