from fb February 4th
Caroline is 5 weeks old! We celebrated with a yummy cookie cake thanks to the Ely family (@ Gina Ely). Kenneth said that Nathan really does think Caroline is a miracle baby bc since she arrived he gets to have cake every weekend!!! What fun for a 2 year old!
I had a nice long update typed up that somehow got erased so here's a quick version.
This past week was good. No major problems. Still no fluid in the lungs~yay! She's definitely has a clock set for eating time and loves to drink from her bottle. In fact, if we think she's done with the bottle and start to tube feed her, and she wakes up, she gets pretty upset (with her tiny little cry). We are so happy that she is showing such an interest in sucking bc this is something trisomy babies don't always do. She really is doing so much better than the doctors led us to believe she would do!
Thanks again for all the prayers and encouragement! We are so thankful for all you've all done!

Caroline with no tube! Today was one month since her tube was inserted so we had to change it. We took out the old one just after a feeding so she could be "tubeless" for a couple of hours until the next feeding. It was nice to see her sweet face with no tube and touch her soft skin.

Woohoo-thanks to @Toni Kimpel we know that Miss Caroline is gaining weight and growing. She weighs 6 lbs 9.5oz and is almost 20 inches. So much bigger than i expected. Guess all that pumping is paying off! Now if i can only keep up with her growing appetite??- Nache' Fikes-Verner, Michelle Tipton, Jennifer Walton Halpenny and 40 others like this.
Charlotte Watson May God continue to strengthen you and your family as you cherish your time with Caroline! He is moving his hand in a mighty way lately! Not sure what he's doing, and sometimes it's scaring me a little, but at the same time, I'm excited to see what he's going to do! Does that make any sense?
- Judy Moss So exciting!!!! I am praying for her daily and for you and the rest of your family. Go Caroline!
Karmen McGee Way to go! Keep up the good work. She is beautiful. We are praying for you and your family.
- Dawna Adams Love the updates! We are still staying away because we can't seem to get everyone well.(Don't want to chance bringing anything over!) I miss and love you all so very much. You are in our thoughts & prayers always. ♥♥♥
