Happy 1st Thanksgiving to our little Madison! We can't think of anything we're more grateful for than you. And, we're so grateful to our wonderful Father in Heaven for blessing us with such a precious little girl. We're also grateful at this time for the wonderful nurses and doctors at St. Marks who have been so wonderful. And for sweet family and friends who have been praying for you and asking about your progress and who've been there all along the way offering their love and support. We are so blessed and truly recognize the hand of the Savior in helping our little family during this time. We are so humbled and so grateful.
Today mom, dad and grandma Barksdale spent their Thanksgiving with Madison. We spent time holding and loving her. It was such a special day. Madison is so adorable and sweet. We just love her. The nurses took Maddie's O2 off last night, and told us today that ironically her oxygen-saturation levels were better now with the O2 off than when it was on. She also ate 20 cc's from the bottle at 2am this morning, and then let mommy feed her 16 cc's from the bottle at 2pm, and then again at 8pm she ate another 16 cc's from the bottle. She is really pushing to get to the next level. She is continuously amazing mom and dad of her progress and with how strong willed she is. She is amazing to us. She is now up 36 cc's per feeding, and her weight today is now up to 4lbs 5.7 ounces. She's growing stronger..the nurses tell us also that she has strong legs. She is always kicking her legs and throwing her blanket off. We are thrilled with her progress and look forward every day to having her home soon.
