Today was the day of the big meeting with the doctor. They were very pleased with her progress. They said everything that you would want to see her doing or improving on is happening. The doctor does not have a time frame when she will be going home. As always, they tell us when Hope is ready she will go. Each child is different and only she can tell.The doctor did talk about when we get home. He scared us with the talk of germs. Hope did not receive any of the antibodies from Jen to fight off infections and other germs. This happens late in the pregnancy. He told us that the ONLY person that Hope needs to survive at this time is her mom. We need to weigh the benefits verses the negatives for any other person that comes sees or has contact with her when she is at home. The doctor said we probably would feel terrible if Hope got sick and had to come back to NICU. This was an eye-opener to both of us.

Much as we are anxious to meet Hope, we absolutely agree that it is more important for Hope to stay well! We count it a blessing that you are keeping us informed with this 'blogspot' and you will just have to keep posting MANY pictures and information for us! We love to see how well she is doing. We keep you in our prayers!
Love, Aunt Linda and Uncle Dan
