Quick Update

For those that have read the last post, here is an update to that. We were able to go see my brother and his wife in the hospital on Sat (yesterday). They were doing well. Julia (the baby) is doing amazingly well for her gestational age. She weighed 1 lb 4 oz at birth and was 12 in. long. She is TINY. She is pretty much just hooked up to oxygen and has a feeding tube and iv, but other than that things are good.

We are so glad that things are going well and that the tough choice that was made is having the outcome that it is. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys as she continues to grow and develop in the NICU.

Thank you for your thoughts and concerns. We appreciate it. It'll be a slow process and we're hoping that she'll be able to come home from the hospital by her original due date (May 10th).

I will try to keep you updated as things progress....no news is good news. :)

Holy Smokes!!! In that picture she doesn't look that small, until I read the part saying that was her dad's wedding ring on her wrist! CRAZY! Glad to hear that she is doing good considering!

Glad you got to go visit! So sad to hear that she came so early but glad that so far it's okay! Such a cute picture!

Ain't no need to watch where I'm going, just need to know where I've been.
