Can I get a Hallelujah?!?!?

And throw in an amen while you're at it!

Sydney is 7 weeks old today and is amazing everyone by her progress. I spoke with her lead doctor today and she said the neurosurgeon took a look at the recent ultrasounds and he is not concerned at all. He is thrilled that the condition hasn't worsened and wants to just give her some more time to grow and not consider anything invasive at this point. Yay! She is very alert, not irritable, tolerating all her feedings and having no issues with her oxygen. These are all things they look for with fluid on the brain so she's doing great. Praise the Lord.

The doctor also said, "I'm not even sure why she's still in the NICU! She no longer needs intensive care and we'll definitely have her in the intermediate nursery within a week. In fact, if another baby comes in before then, she's outta here." Woot! That means she is soooo much closer to coming home!

She was awake for a few minutes while I was there and when she opened her eyes, she looked at me and just grinned. :love: She kept smiling everytime I spoke to her and was just having a grand old time.

Woo Hoo!
