Well, today was a good day! Baby Aisling has gained a 60 grams of weight from her birth weight of 760 grams to 820 grams. She has also increased her food intake to 5cc's of milk and is handling it very well. They will be taking her off of the oxygen shortly to see if she can maintain breathing on her own. So far, our little girl is holding up better than both mom and dad!! By the way, they put a really cute hat on her today that was handmade by volunteers. It was yellow, with pink ribbon and a rose. She was styling!!!
Also, Ger was discharged this morning and will be able to spend Christmas at home! She has a few follow up appointments scheduled for next week to make sure her lungs, heart, and blood pressure remain under control. She has tons of meds to help keep things as normal as possible for a while. The docs think that she'll be back to normal and off the meds within 6 months. We'll keep our fingers crossed for that.
Thanks again for all of your well wishes, prayers, and thoughts. Without such great friends and family, we don't know where we would be. We wish you all a Happy Christmas!
Peace be with you!
Chuck and Ger

We're so happy that Ms. Geri was able to make it home for Christmas, and that Aisling is showing so much strength. Good luck in the New Year. Declan misses Ms. Geri very much.

Geri and Chuck- God bless you both. Aisling has been in my prayers. Geri, I know you are a tough cookie- It appears that Aisling has inherited that wonderful trait of yours. Hang in there.... We miss you!!
