A Girl Named Maria

Baby Fat



Our little Maria or "little dolly" as mom calls her is gaining weight like a champ. She now weighs 2 pounds and 9 ounces. She is just about double what she weighed when born. Take a look at that chubby hand and arm. She's even got a double chin! We are all glad to see her plump up a bit. The doctors are considering a trial without the ventilator tomorrow! She got a blood transfusion today and has already battled another infection. Her oxygen concentration has been in the 30s. We breath 21%. She is definitely a fighter. Mom and Dad have been at the hospital every possible moment they can spare. Mom mentioned the other day " I can't imagine my life without her!" (As you can see Maria gave her Aunt Dee a little smile today during her photo shoot!!)

Oh Maria Marie. Look at you. Won't be long now till you can kick Mommie and Daddy. I am so happy with Maria's progress. She is truly a little doll.
