This girl is larger than life itself and yet she's still the smallest baby in the NICU. She should get some kind of award, don't you agree? Or at least a pretty ribbon 😃
The nurse told us today that certain babies on the floor (much larger than her) have a lot more issues going on. Some can't even breathe on their own while Belle has been breathing on her own since day two. She's only getting support from the CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) mask. You can see that mask in most of her pictures (although it's deceiving in some ways). It looks intimidating but in fact it's only there for support. She is actually putting in all of the work!
Everyone is so proud of her.
So yes, we've been very fortunate with her health and the state that she's in. God has been so gracious and we pray that she continues to thrive and be strong. Over the last day or so she gained 30 grams, which is fantastic.
Keep fighting little one.
It feels like everyone is on Team Arabella. Everyone is interested in her story. We're overwhelmed and very humbled by the outpouring of support. The fundraiser (to move closer to her) was a huge success and suddenly we find ourselves doing exactly what we set out to do. So we're doing it.
A big thank you to everyone who's been keeping us in their thoughts and prayers. We love you and thank you.
