Skylar has finally made it to 2 pounds!!!

Skylar weighed 2 lbs 3 ounces last night, what a triumph! The more she gains and grows the better it will be for her lungs. Unfortunatly she is struggling with her lungs, the right side is not expanded very much and there is a lot of scar tissue from the ventalater. The doctors watch her closely and they just make adjustments as needed to help support her lungs and help her breathe. Ryan and I hope that she will graduate off of the ventalater, but it may take some more time. Her lungs are her biggest struggle and sadly they are still so immature. Luckily, she is still fighting away and continues to have a little attitude, that I love. She is our fiesty girl and we are so proud of her. She continues to keep the nurses busy with poopy diapers, that must be changed right away, or she will have a lot to say about it! A few times a week we take turns holding her at night which is the most rewarding thing we do with her. Ryan and I look forward to spending Christmas with her next week and we continue to pray that we will be able to bring her home soon!
