Well, she's slowly coming out of it. Annie is indeed dealing with an infection that has popped up in two of her cultures. It looks like our old friend staph is back and SERIOUSLY overstaying their welcome. We will have confimation on that soon.
Yesterday, Annie was limp and just miserable. We've never seen her like this. Today, she is very sleepy, still on CPAP but back to kicking around, sucking on fingers and back on foods (4ccs). Gran was present and I am sure will offer more in her much missed "Grans Report".
So Annie is under strict orders to fight this nasty little intruder and GET STRONG.
It goes without saying (but still needs to be said) that the NICU STAFF ROCKS. We were so frightened yesterday and Annie (the bigger one), Theresa and Dr. E filled us with information, answered countless questions and took the most thorough, comprehensive care of our little girl. This is not a surprise (they always do that) but it means everything to us when Steve and I feel so helpless and afraid for Annie.
By the way, we're not kidding. We were serious. 3 lb party for Annie is occuring tomorrow at Gran's horse farm at 11am. All are welcome. If you need directions, let us know.

We will be there tomorrow at Gran's.........and prayers have been a plenty these last few nights...........hang in there Annie...........we love all 3 pounds of you...... times 1,000,000,000,000,000,000........
So glad to hear the positive progress report (tho' come to think of it, what other kind of progress is there?). Just hope those "bundles" of good thoughts from Michigan didn't hurt anyone when they landed in the NICU - can't have that happening to the personnel...they're far too valuable!! Those of us who can't make it to the party tomorrow will be expecting a full report on both Annie and the social activities via ANN (Annie News Network). And a big Hello and hug to everyone who shows up!
Annie is definitely a fighter! The Irish in her? I will be at Gran's in spirit tomorrow and sending lots of love to the NICU, too.
Love, Barb
Nobody said it would be easy turning 3 (pounds that is!) so hang in there Annie... love and prayers are in constant supply.
Wish we could make the 3 pound party, maybe we will be at the 4 pound event. You will be in our thoughts!
