rainy days and mondays don't get me down.

at least not today! because today they removed darla jane's ra line which means she's doing better. AND...I was able to hold her! YEA!! a week was too long for this mama to go without holding her baby girl. and I may or may not have held her for about 6 hours today. :-)She is also doing so well on her feeds. She is actually up to 9 ccs an hour. which is about 6oz a day. And is tolerating it very well. They even bump her up every 6 hours now!

Tomorrow her other 2 chest tubes come out. And the word on the street is that she may be moving up to "the floor", and out of the CICU on Wednesday. Keep those prayers coming!!

I am amazed everyday at how much she is improving. Her numbers are good and her new favorite color is pink. Generally, these little ones with hlhs have a bit of an ashy or blue color in their hands, feet and lips. Not our darla jane. She's pink. Everyone comments on how great her color is! We are just so thankful for the miracles that are happening every day.
