Relaxing

So this is our Callie, lounging around enjoying life without a tube in her throat! We can't begin to tell you how much better she looks off of the ventillator. We still have a long way to go, but this was a nice step! Over the last two days, they have decreased Callie's oxygen support from 3 liters to a 2 liter cannula. Other than that, they have increased her calorie intake. Since she is already on full feeds, they can't increase the volume, so they add supplemental calories to help fatten her up! They have even started talking about a possible transfer back to St. Joe's in the near future. They just need to get clearence from Neuro.

  2. I love checking in and being treated to yet another sweet picture of your little "supermodel"! Way to go. God has answered lots of prayers. I'll keep Callie and the docs and you guys in my daily prayers. Keep up the great progress.

  5. Marci, we are so happy to see great strides that Callie has been making! She certainly does look bigger and a lot more comfortable now that she is off the ventilator.

  9. Hi Marci and
    This is Kelly (Kelly D.'s friend from Punta Cana). Sorry it has taken me so long to write on this blog, but I have been keeping up with Callie's status. She is so precious!! I just want to let you know she is in our thoughts and prayers. She is a little fighter.
    Take care,

  10. Our dear sweet Callie,

    Great Grammy and Grampy are so happy to hear you keep improving each day. You are so precious little Callie and your pictures on the blog are so cute. We can't wait to see you little angel - you are growing so fast. I say my rosary every night (one especially for you).

    Keep improving our little miracle baby - we love you soooo much.

    Love,
    Great Grammy and Great Grampy
