Look What I Can Do


BREAKING NEWS: Bella finally got to taste her milk today!!! And she must really think it's good stuff because at her very first try with a bottle, she downed 12 of the 32 ML that she usually gets. I love to here the excitement in Lori's voice when she calls with reports of good news!
Our Baby Bella has been a very busy little girl in the NICU. She has many things to do in order to be able to come home and she is checking them off one by one. Great Grandmomma has just returned from a trip to visit and she got to hold Bella for the first time. I am happy to report that Bella is now totally off of the oxygen. She doesn’t even have a monitor any more! She has had a little trouble regulating her temperature so she had to be placed back into a hooded bed. This is temporary and she is already doing better at holding her temperature up on her own, so we do not expect her to be in that bed much longer. Her current weight is 3lb. 14.6 oz. Please continue to pray for strength for Bella as she continues to accomplish one milestone after another.
1 Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy.
3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God!
He made us, and we are his.
We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good.
His unfailing love continues forever,
and his faithfulness continues to each generation
Psalm 100: 1-5


I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed day!
