A good weekend

I am very happy to report that Elyse had a good weekend.  Her cultures did come back positive for a blood infection, but she is responding well to the antibiotics and will stay on them at least a week to make sure everything is cleared up.  She was able to come back off the CPAP on Saturday morning and they have resumed her milk feedings again.  You can tell she is feeling better -- her colour is good, and she's much more alert and active.  Thank you to everyone who continues to keep her in your thoughts and prayers -- she certainly seems to have a few angels watching over her.

We had a mixture of daytime and evening visits over the weekend -- every day is a little different, depending on what works best for us and for Emmett.  Elyse had some family visitors, and met her Aunt Heather and Uncle Dan, and her Nana and Papa Glasius for the first time.

And finally, Elyse is two weeks old today!  She is weighing in at 985g (2lbs 3oz) and is 37cm long.  She is starting to keep her eyes open for longer stretches, especially during our kangaroo care.
