The puff returns..
We learned today that Annie's fluid retention returned a few days ago and was impacting her breathing and blood pressure. While this is not uncommon among preemies, this took us a bit by surprise. Annie was given a diaretic on the 3rd and 4th and has been busy shedding the excess fluids. This is her second round with these diaretics so Annie is now down to 3 lb 12 ounces from her all time high of 4lbs 4 ounces. It's hard to accept that this much weight loss is good for Annie but we remind ourselves (as some of us know all too well!) that there is a real difference between 'real' weight and 'water' weight. Come to think of it, I believe there are a number of spas that offer a similar type of 'cleanse'!

We have returned from China and are so relieved that Annie is doing so well, even considering the few bumps she is experiencing along the way. She hit 4lbs once, she will do it again! Prayers are still in steady supply.
