No more CPAP!!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us, near and far. We appreciate you spreading the word about Abby and having your friends and families pray for us. Roberto and I are forever grateful. We believe that your prayers and intercessions are one of the main reasons Abby is doing so well. Abby is a miracle! She is beating the odds!! According to the statistics, she shouldn't even be here and here she is putting up an amazing fight! Praise God! Praise Jesus!!

Abby is doing fabulous! Last night, the team removed her CPAP!!! YAY!!! They felt that she is doing well on her own and they are monitoring her closely. It is up to her to show us if she can go a long time without any assistance. So far she's been off of it for about 20 hours and she's doing great. She doesn't like it when she's on her back or when her chin is forward, which is typical for babies with tracheomalacia. But we are hoping that she can build tolerance!!

Tomorrow a feeding specialist will assess Abby to see if she is ready to start feeding via bottle versus the feeding tube!  This is super exciting!  

Also, tomorrow we are taking the kids to meet her for the first time and they are super excited! I am too! :)
