A LONG HARD DAY OF FOOTBALL

Little Audrey spent all day trying to decide which is her favorite team!!!!!

HOMECOMING!!!!!!

Audrey came home today at 12:35pm and is doing wonderful. Her EKG test found no problems. Christi, Audrey, and I are doing great. Our family has been helping us and have really made our life easier. We are so appreciative. We can finally just focus on loving on Audrey and learning how to take care of her.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!

Christi is home and will be spending the night in her bed. The doctor changed Audreys heart rate minimum limit to 65 beats per minute. This means that if she does not go below this number she can go home on Wednesday. She also has to have a positive result from her EKG. Everyone in the NICU thinks the EKG will be fine.

We are now able to feed Audrey in the NICU and hold her whenever we want to. The hospital will allow us to stay in the NICU Family Room tomorrow night, and Audrey can stay in there with us. They will be teaching us all the stuff we missed not having her in our room for the last four nights.

When can we bring Audrey home????

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.

Big Changes!!!

Today was a good day for Christi and Audrey. Both of them stop taking their antibotics and had their I.V.s removed. Audrey was moved to a crib and began feeding. Christi will be discharged on Monday and Audrey will hopefully be discharged on Tuesday.







We are so thankful for the wonderful nurses at St. Vincents. They have loved Audrey as if she was their own.



We would like to thank everyone for their prayers and all they have done for us during the last 3 days.

Audrey Day Two

It has been almost 48 hours since Audrey was born and she is doing really well. The doctor in NICU said that they would start to feed her today and if everything goes well we can take her home on Monday or Tuesday. Christi walked the entire way to the NICU and stayed with Audrey most of the morning. Both Christi and Audrey are making great progress.
