Hope's First Day

What a great first day Hope had! She continues to do very well. She is still breathing on her own and has spent her day meeting many new people who have been anxiously awaiting her arrival. She tried sugar water today, received antibiotics and was monitored for her heart rate, oxygen level in her blood and her respiration level. All of these things looked good on the monitor. She got to spend a lot of time being held by her mom and dad, and this of course led to permanent smiles on mom and dad's faces. Ryann and Camden (after he got over the fact that the baby wasn't a boy as he was wishing) also enjoyed meeting Hope and are looking forward to the day that we can bring her home. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. They have meant so much to us, and we couldn't have gotten through this without them.

Congratulations on your new arrival! She sounds like she is doing wonderfully. Although the preemies can be a little rough, they're fighters. My two are some of the healthiest kids I know. Take care and if you need any support or have questions that I might be able to help with, let me know.

Take Care,
The White Family
