You know, when my sister asked me about getting a letter together and mailing it to people, asking them for donations....I thought of the blog. When I got the message out here, I thought that maybe we would get $50.00, but NO! You guys have came through and made promised donations, and because of you and your wonderful generosity...the NICU babies are going to have a fulfilled "Wabbanub" Christmas! It is not much to most people, but when you are in this situation and a nurse tells you that a Wabbanub could help your precious preemie's sucking reflex and eye coordination happen, you are going to try it. But, we thought of the other preemies and want them to have that chance too. The NICU does so much for these precious little babies. We know that we can't ever afford to donate enough for a ventilator or a bed, but a Wabbanub can help the smaller things! So, thank you so much for your help and I will be sure to post pictures of the special Christmas Day!
On Olivia Jane note, she has done SO wonderful after her subgaleal ventricular shunt (temporary shunt), she has been moved to the "big girl" Progressive Care Unit! Thank you again for your prayers! Because of your prayers, she has progressed so well after surgery and I can only continue to pray that she does well in the future! The doctors told Melissa that it is a long-shot, but that it has been known for the preemie to get ready for the permanent shunt, and then before surgery - everything is fine and NO shunt was needed! Please pray that this happens and Olivia is healed by God. The power of prayer can get us there! Please continue to pray; if everything goes ok, she will just need to gain some more weight, regulate her own temp, drink from her own bottle, and come home! Olivia weighs 3 pounds 2.4 ounces! Wooohooo! I love you so much Olivia Jane!
