Today we encountered our first minor setback. As with all preemies there are good days and bad days. Baby Aisling is doing well, but they lowered her feedings from 7cc's to 4cc's, as she was not tolerating it as well as the doctors would like. Of course this made mom and dad sad, but we are learning that this happens and we hope to see an increase in food again soon.
On the bright side, she now weighs almost 900 grams, which is just under 2lbs! We have been doing more Kangaroo Care, which involves laying her on your chest for skin to skin contact and dad even got to take her temp and change her "micropreemie" diaper.
We wish everyone a Happy and Peaceful New Year. We will be ringing in the New Year with Aisling!

Geri and Chuck, I am sorry to hear that Aisling has had a setback. She sounds like a strong little girl and will get right back where she was before, eating like a champ! Merry 1st Christmas to all of you as a family and especially to Aisling. We are praying for all of you and we wish you a very Happy New Year filled with hope and many bright moments with your new daughter. Sarah misses you so much and has re-named her doll Aisling Catherine. Hugs to all of you!
