We were able to hold our little one for the second time today!! She is sooo precious. She has been on CPAP for over 24 hours today. This means she no longer has a tube down her throat for the first time in her little life. CPAP is a little mask that goes over her nose and keeps her lungs open and she does the breathing. She was really fighting her tube yesterday so they decided to give it a try and so far so good. As you can see above it is not the prettiest contraption but she is liking a lot better then the tube, so that is wonderful.

The hospital staff here is phenomenal. We are so lucky to be here and have this care for Raylee.

We are so grateful to you all! Thanks for praying for our little miracle!
