Two month celebration

Wow, we must be having a lot of fun because time has certainly flown by...Has our little Sophia really been around two months? And what an eventful and amazing two months it has been.

This morning four friends from Michigan stopped in for a visit. They were so excited to hear that they could actually meet Sophia and were amazed with how big she is getting and how healthy she looks. They also got a tour of the Ronald McDonald house and stopped by our favorite neighborhood Chipotle.

Sophia was also visited by her Grandma Huber and Aunt Vicky. They got to see how Sophia gets tastes of formula before they headed back to Michigan.

Sophia seemed to be feeling better today. Her heart rate was back down to her more normal range and she woke all four times I visited today. She was able to taste feeds two of the four times. Each time she tried a little more then the previous time. She is up to about 12 tastes/drops during an awake period. While that doesn't sound like much, it is wonderful that she is making the little steps forward. She is also up to 16ml/hr on her feeds. Each day she makes more little strides forward to a journey home.

Thanks to all once again for keeping her in your hearts, thoughts and prayers through this and in the future.
