Latest Update

Callie has had some minor set backs over the last couple of days. They had pushed her down to one liter of oxygen on Tuesday and she just wasn't ready. She started to have more of her episodes where she Brady's and Desats. So they decided to put her back on the heated three liter nasal cannula. We are happy with this decision, becuase we would rather that she use her calories to grow not struggle to breathe. The other thing they decided to do was give her another blood transfusion. Her numbers were getting kind of low and she tends to have set backs when that happens. The blood she got today was her Daddy's! Lee did a Direct Donation through the Red Cross and it came through today for her! Other than that, our girl has been resting nicely.

    Glad to hear you guys are happy with her progress. I bet it amazes you to think how much you have learned since Feb. 13. You are fabulous parents. And I love the Direct Donate. How sweet for Callie and Lee. Keep up the great progress. I'll keep praying!

  3. We're continuing to pray for Callie as well as your whole family. So neat that Lee was able to donate blood directly for his little girl ~ yet another bond they have. We miss you guys. You were such a blessing to us during our time in the NICU. We'll e-mail soon so we can stay in touch.
    Love, Scott, Merry Jo, Emma & Lily :)
