She's a Biggun'

I talked to the nurse last night who said that they just weighed her and she weighs a huge 3 pounds 15 ounces! She gained a whole pound in about a week or so. That is great. I have heard people ask for her weight a lot, and if that matters to when she goes home. There are 3 things that she has to do to be able to go home: 1. be able to regulate her own temperature, 2. be able to suckle successfully on a regular basis, and 3. gain weight on a regular basis. Those are the 3 goals were going for. I took the below pictures at 11pm last night; she didn't move much. She is having to breathe harder for the same amount of oxygen, her hemoglobin may be getting used up. The nurse says that she might need a blood transfusion soon.

Also, my dad came through his surgery successfully, they ended up having to do quintriple bypass surgery, instead of triple bypass. He is on a lot of drugs, but is doing well. Thank you for all your prayers.
