Progress

Well we are still in the hospital, but there's an end in sight. They let me go last sunday, but they extended Piper's antibiotics to 10 days, which means she has to stay until this sunday. She is still on a little bit of oxygen, but is much better. The reason she's had a hard time breathing and needed to be on oxygen is b/c she caught pneuomia. The saddest part has been everytime they need to move her IV. Little infants vains dry up pretty quickly, so they need to move the IV about every 2 days. She's had an IV in each hand, one foot, and 2 different places on her head. We need this last IV to last until sunday b/c they are running out of vains. We've spent most of our days in the NICU with Piper, but we did manage to take off Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning to celebrate with my parents and brother. It hasn't felt like Christmas at all since Piper was born, but celebrating Christmas with my parents actaully made it feel like Christmas. They left this morning, but they were so much help watching Sadie while we visited Piper.

Anyway, our little girl is getting cuter and cuter every day. Here are a few recent pictures of her as well as our Christmas festivities.
