Today has been another good day and Madison continues to improve. The nurses tell us she's a "Rock Star" down in the NICU, and we believe it! She's so amazing to us as she makes such quick progress. Today she came off her oxygen completely-she is now breathing entirely on her own. She is also up to (11) cc's of food, and continues to digest it all. Today she is also improving on regulating her own body temperature. Before we know it she'll be out of her isolette and in a crib.
Grandma Barksdale got to visit with Madison for about an hour today. She was also told by the NICU nurses what a "fiesty" little girl Maddie is. We are thrilled to know we've got such a fighter. She is so beautiful. Mommy and daddy can't get enough of her. We love spending every minute we can just watching her. She's a beautiful little girl. It's neat to think that she recognizes our voices. The nurses tell us her oxygen level and heart rate both go up when we are there because she's excited. That always makes us feel good to know that she can improve just because we're present.
She is such a precious and special little girl. We are so grateful for her. We feel so humbled and blessed to have her in our lives.
YAY, MADDIE! We are so proud of you, sweet baby girl! Crossing our fingers she will be home for Christmas!
