Getting Ready for Game Day!

Ali holding mommy's finger.

Last night was the first time that we all got to hold hands at the same time.
It was hard to leave her. It was a sweet, tendor, and spiritual moment for us.

It was also hard to leave her because she has a very strong grip.

They have put in her long-term IV in her right foot so they will not have to stick her with needles so many times. They also give her small doses of caffine everyday to help keep her heart rate stay up.
They have also started Ali on some clear fluids to prepare her digestive system for food.

She appears to be ahead of schedule.

Ali already has the football spirit too.

She has little Aubie with her to give play by play of what is going on during the games this season.

I think I almost heard her say War Eagle when we put him in.
And she is in the good care of her neonatologist, Dr. Terry Bierd, who graduated with her degree in Biology from Auburn University.

She continues to do very well. Let's just hope her heart rate does not go up during the football game.
