One Kilo!

Today Myla is 1020 grams! Roughly 2 lbs 4oz. And tonight she will be put on a low flow oxygen, this is a test run and she could go back again but that's what they said about the high flow 2 weeks ago. That means her lungs will do all the work (high flow just gives a boost)and without the annoying side affect of getting air in her tummy. She had her eyes open for us again tonight and even gave out lots of smiles before falling asleep in mom's arms.

It seems like she has a long road ahead still but she has come a long way already. My wedding ring won't fit over her hand anymore so that's an interesting visual. Tonight we read Christmas books to Myla while a radio played carols in the background,in between random beeps and dings from other baby monitors around the room. This little, tiny wonder has been such an inspiration to us, help us rethink what is possible and how to love more deeply than ever.
