Allison had a good weekend, she is now 2lbs. 6 oz. and is up to 15 cc's every 2 hours - she's got a great appetite. The nurse introduced her to a pacifier to use when she's being being fed through the gavage - she loved it!They have also started Allison on a daily dose of caffeine to help stimulate her lungs as she is scheduled to move off the ventilator and onto CPAP (a breathing machine that sends pressurized air to assist with breathing) on Monday - a HUGE step for her! They tell us not to get discouraged if she doesn't take to it right away.
Allison's personality and characteristics are really starting to show - she loves to be held, dislikes laying on her back and having her face wiped. She looks more and more like Matt everyday - she's got blonde hair, cute cheeks and blue eyes, and she got Nicole's toes!

Hi Nicole!
I'm always so excited to read Allison's updates and to see her photos. She's a strong little girl - just like her mom!
Have been keeping you, Matt - and of course Allison in our hearts and thoughts.
Hugs, Cynthia D'Amour
Nicole & Matt, We are all amazed @ how sweet little Allison is thriving. She is such a stong little angel! What a gift huh?!!!!!
