Skylar made it to 3 pounds last night!!!

It has been while since we have updated this blog, so sorry. Skylar has done pretty well the last week or two. We did have a little scare with her the day before Christmas Eve. She had a fever most of the day and she could not get comfortable. They ran a bunch of tests, bloodwork and cultures. Everything came back normal, but her xray did show that she obtained a little more fluid in her lungs. The doctors started her back on lasix to help with the fluid in the lungs and they started her on some antibiotics because of her fever. They are giving her a very mild sedative to help her relax and rest because she has become more aware of her breathing tube and she wants it out! Skylar has managed to get her tube out a few times and reintubating is a lot of stress on her. Fortunatly, the last day or so she has been more relaxed and she is catching up on some most needed zzzzs! Skylar is so adorable, I have to admit her weight gain has made her look more and more like a baby with the rounded head and a tiny bit of fat around the arms and belly! Oh she is sooo cute! Ryan and I continue to pray for our little one that she will soon be strong enough to come off the ventalater and be home in Feb! Skylar has amazed us all, she truly is our little fighter and she continues to fight for her life everyday in the NICU..... Heavenly Father has given us a miracle and we couldn't be more blessed to have her here with us.
