Marlowe has taught us so much this week, and so much has changed in this short amount of time. Each day we feel like we win some and we lose some, but we had a good day yesterday, followed by a good night. She's put the surgeons at bay at least one more day. Giving them some additional time to get to know her before they finalize the game plan is priceless. She's no longer intubated and is producing more urine than was originally believed to be possible. We can now hear her little squeaky cries. She also has had breastmilk introduced, some poop for Daddy to clean up, and this morning she is starting to show interest in a pacifier. We know there is nothing ordinary about Marlowe's first week in this world, and we will continue to watch her make extraordinary changes over the coming hours, days and weeks.
On Saturday, a wonderful nonprofit organization sent a professional photographer, Nora, to take some family photos. It was a wonderful experience, and we will cherish them. Click here.

ReplyDeleteFantastic photos and news! Love the little feet!
ReplyDeleteMarlowe, you are so adorable! Happy One Week Birthday to you, sweet little one. Delighted but not at all surprised that you're just as feisty as your inspiring parents! Hugs, Melissa and Josh (PS: I think our note from last week didn't make it through the blog comments, but we're here for Otis if you need us...Max commented that he'd love to walk him! ;-) )
