1 week old!

Can you believe it! Layla is a week old already! I know this is cliche but, "Wow, Time Flies". It has been amazing to see her progress in the last week. From being born till now she has increased her feedings from 6ml to 30ml plus 2 calorie packs per feeding. She has been removed from her IV, she no longer need antibiotics, and all her vitals have been doing very well. Praise God!! She is a little fighter.

Last night we also had more good news. Layla gained 10grams from the night before. It isn't much but at least it is the right direction. So she now weighs a staggering 1580 grams (around 3lbs 7.68oz). She was able to have some tummy time last night as she sun-bathed under her bili light.

Pray today that her bilirubin count comes down, and that she continues to feed her whole feedings without any complications. All of us in our family really appreciate all of the support we have been given. It means a a lot to us ... THANKS!

That is amazing that she is off her IV now - how great is that! Sounds like all is all she is improving quite quickly - we always knew the Geurinks were resilient! We are so happy to hear such positive updates! Jill

So fun to read how well she's doing. Time does fly. Soon she'll be home with you.. I'm sure you're very much looking forward to that day. I pray that she continues to gain strength each and every day. ~ Daysha
