Audrey is doing really well in all areas except her heart rate continues to be low. She has always had a low baseline heart rate, but the doctors are a little concerned because it dropped to 66 bpm last night. They did an EKG this morning and sent it to UAB to be reviewed. They keep reassuring us that this is only precautionary, but the nurse told us today that Audrey would not go home until she has had 7 to 8 days without an "event" with her heart rate. We are still waiting to see what the doctor says. Hopefully we will know something later this afternoon.
Christi is doing really well and continues to get stronger everyday. She will be discharged this afternoon at 6:00pm. We will be moving to a motel room that is attached to the hospital. This will allow us to remain closer to Audrey.
Please continue to pray that all of Audrey's test results are positive.

Carlton and I are praying that all of Audrey's test results come back positive! It is great that there is a motel attached to the hospital so yall can stay close to Audrey. Christi, I am glad you are doing well! You look fabulous in all of the pics! Please keep us posted on Audrey's test results.
We will be praying for your family. I am sure all this testing and waiting will make the day that Audrey gets to go home all the more special. Hang in there and be strong:)
Christi,
I am thinking about you! I am so happy to see that you too have a blog. I just started one not too long ago too. The nurses at St. Vincent's are wonderful and the NICU is a blessing. They took very good care of Lyla while we were there and took good care of me too. :) I will be checking this often, so please keep us updated on your test results. Know you are in my prayers! Audrey is precious...I can't believe her hair!! Get some rest; she will come home before you know it!
