Day 60

Sydney weighs 4lbs 1oz this morning, so she has been averaging one ounce per day. Her doctors are happy with that.

She's still very lethargic and they haven't quite figured out the reason. She was squirming around on her bed yesterday but she was never awake for very long at all. The doctors didn't think much of it but the nurses that have cared for her in the past agreed that this is very much unlike her. She also was breathing very fast yesterday and they ordered a chest X-Ray and it showed no problems. We're praying that she's just tired from all the growing that she's been doing.

Unfortunately, I have a cold and that means I can't go anywhere near her. I'm thinking she could use some Mommy snuggles but it will do more harm than good at this point. My Mom and B will go see her today so hopefully she'll be awake and alert while they are there.

Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. - 2Corinthians 1: 9-11
