Day 14, Late Afternoon

We just got back from a visit with Hannah. She now weights 2 pounds, 3 ounces! That's up from 1 lb 8 oz at birth. But all the other babies in the NICU still look like sumo wrestlers in comparison.

All the vital signs are better today, and she's had a good day, according to the nurses. Tonight at 8pm Hannah will be two weeks old, and that's a milestone we've been hoping for.

And, one eye opened today (the nurse saw it, we didn't). All in all, we had a very encouraging visit. Hanna was very active, stretching her legs and grabbing onto Carla's finger. Even a few yawns and squeezy-faces.

We told her there are a lot of people praying and pulling for her.

Comments will be added to the blog as soon as we see them. This delay is needed to keep spammers from using Hannah's blog to advertise junk and spread viruses. -- Karl
