"She has a clean head."
These were the words we were told yesterday. Relief. Brooklyn's head scan was yesterday afternoon. This test tells us if she had any brain bleeds as a result of being born so premature. Yet another blessing from the Lord, how grateful we are!

(She gets this sleep position from her mom, but boy does she look like her dad!)
Today's progress.....off the ventilator again! Back to the piggy nose of Cpap. We still think our little runt is cute, piggy nose or not. :)
(Right before they took out the breathing tube. She had just filled a diaper - seriously, how does that much poop come out such a little bum? You can see how little she is compared to the nurse's hand.)
(Tired, yet happy parents.)
(Excuse the white mouth, she likes to blow bubbles.)
Between yesterday and today we are mentally tired, yet thrilled with the progress she has made. She continues to amaze us with how well she is doing.
As we drove home in the pouring rain tonight, Roger and I were talking about how life somehow goes on despite the fact that our world is sleeping in an isolette in the hopsital. I picked up the dry cleaning today. I dropped it off last Tuesday. Also did some laundry last night - may have put darks in with the whites because I'm distracted, but the clothes are clean! Roger has been finishing our backyard in between trips up to Primarys. Shouldn't everyone put their lives on hold with us while we watch these miracles take place? But this isn't how life works. So we are slowly coming back to life, little by little.
Seven days ago, our world came crashing down. But we were forever changed for the better that night. Is it possible we love her more than we did that first night? Yes. It is.
