Meeting Mimi

Today Ali got to meet Mimi (my mother), and Mimi got to meet Ali.

It was yet again another tender and sweet moment.

She also got to touch her little tiny hands. 

We got to speak again with one of the neonatologists there, and he said that she is doing very well for her gestational age. He said that it is possible that she would go back to the ventilator, but it was surprising how quickly she got off of it. He said that lung maturity is the number in causing fatalities with premature babies.

The second most fatal is digestive infections, which we hope and pray Ali will not acquire, but it is a hurdle she will have to jump.

After watching Ali for awhile (almost two hours), she started to move and wake up.
She stretched...she stretched...she yawned...and she stretched over and over again.

Mimi was very surprised at how small Ali was. She said that the pictures that we have been posting do not show her actual size very well. So here are some pictures to help you get a better idea.

And some more baby feet. Well... a baby's foot.
