Hannah is tolerating her food well, so it's been increased from a half cc to a full cc per hour. For reference, a cc is about the same volume as a sugar cube. Not exactly a gluttonous meal, but a step in the right direction.
Carla went to see her today while I was at work. Circumstances are conspiring to keep her from holding Hannah, though. Yesterday we were a few minutes late, and Hannah had already been re-swaddled. Today an emergency surgery elsewhere in the NICU meant that Carla could only touch and talk to Hannah. Which is a reminder that there are other babies in the neonatal ICU, each with their own challenges, and each deserving our thoughts and prayers. I hope that other child's operation went well, and that his or her parents can sleep well tonight.

Thank you Karl for thinking of us and Carter...and we are definitely thinking of Hannah, Carla, and you. Carter's surgery went well, but he has a huge uphill battle. May God shine his Light upon our babies, and their families.
