Today was the best day I have had ever. After 4 long weeks of waiting I finally got to hold my little girl. It was a moment and feeling like no other. I truly felt like a mom at that moment. Kaidyn tolerated our time very well. I actually held her for 2 hours! We did what is called Kangaroo Care. It is basically holding the baby skin to skin, letting your body heat keep them warm and enabling the baby to hear your heart beat. It was absolutely wonderful. Kaidyn also came off the CPAP machine and is on what is call a High Flow Canula. So we can see her face! We can also hear her cry, which is music to my ears (for now :) ) She is doing so well her oxygen need has decreased and her sats are looking great. Pray for her continual progress and that her lungs strengthen and she continues to breathe on her own. She is such a strong little girl. I am just so proud of her. I've been smiling from ear to ear!
Oh this is such wonderful news! And it's so great seeing your smiling face, too! Thanking the Lord for all this progress!

John 3:14-17 ¶And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
