I though I would keep everyone up to date on Marissa's progress on my blog. That way if you are interested you can tune in see how's it going!

She is doing great! We've been home a little over a month now and she now weighs 7 pounds 4 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long! She is off the apnea monitor and the oxygen. All that is a concern now are her eyes. Her right eye is still not complete but the blood vessels are gone, which is a praise! She does have the chronic lung diease (BPD) but as her lungs regenerate that will take care of itself. (About the age of 2) Until then we just have to be sure and keep her safe from infection and germs. If that is even possible...but we try.

The kids adore her! They could not be more thrilled with their little sister! Such big helpers they are too. Even the nasty of jobs of dirty diapers or spit up they are right there giving me a wipe or burp cloth. Jake enjoys reading to her, Molly likes to tell her girl secrets and Ike likes to hold her. All four kids are such a joy!

Thanks for checking in on Marissa. I will update again soon! Please leave a comment if you like!
