September 4, 2011

Thank you for all the prayers and positive vibes that have been coming my way. The past five days have been rough, but, I am still fighting. One of the lung cultures came back positive, so hopefully the round of antibiotics will help. We have slowly been able to come down on the oxygen, but it has been a slow course. Today, my tummy isn't feeling too good. The x-ray shows that there appears to be some air in it, and I am having a hard time getting comfortable. Overall, I am doing a little better... but still have a long journey ahead of me. On Thursday, my sister was able to come into the NICU and meet me for the first time. It was nice to know that everyone is pulling for me. Keep the prayers and love coming... thank you so much!!!

    sending loads of healing thoughts your way! alexander you are an amazing little boy. i cant wait until you are a chubby bub at home, crawling around and getting into everything, and we can look back on these days you spent in the nicu and just say remember when... Amanda, sending prayers for strength to you. NICU life is exhausting, emotionally and physically, and you are doing an AMAZING job. You are a wonderful, loving mother, and Alexander is so lucky to have you there by his side rooting him on. xoxo

    Awww.... sweet baby boy!! One of the few times an infection is "good" news, huh? Hope he just keeps getting better and better.

    Praying that your little guy turns this corner very quickly. I am also praying that you are able to find some peace during these trying days (and nights).

    Sending continued prayers for continued improvements. Keeping working hard and getting strong Alexander. Glad you met your sister. Mom and Dad sending support and prayers - life in the NICU is demanding and draining.
