Sat. night was a strong one for us, as the reality of the situation hit home. Upon arrival she had a plastic cylinder over her head with a tube for extra O2 to be carried to her. This is to assist her breathing, though not extraordinary. We also witnessed her breathing and heart rate drop significantly in a matter of seconds, prompting the nurse to assist her to normalcy. The fact is she will be in the hospital if all goes well for at least 2-3 months. Heart and breathing monitors are there for a reason. This is all quite normal, and Eva is doing very well for her age and size. It's just a serious condition to be in. Thank you for praying, and assisting in the many ways you are.
On a happy note, we found her also with sharp looking pink footies, which could probably serve as leg warmers.

Welcome to the world little Eva!
What a beautiful little girl! I love the dark hair!
May God's strength and peace be with you. God's light shines through your little one and brings joy to us!
We are praying for all three of you!

Of course her footies are stylish...very Florentine! I am so glad you are able to be close to her and begin to bond in all these ways, even with all the sobering machinery and inability to have her home yet.

She is beautiful! We will be praying for all of you. Congratulations!
I have to say that I have seen quite a few premie babies and your little sweetheart looks amazing! She looks so healthy and strong. We are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers.
