Ari just had a great weekend, compared to how she's been doing. She's been maintaining her oxygen levels and the line in her stomach came out. With the line out of her stomach, we will be able to hold her soon...I can't wait! They haven't fed her yet, as she continues to have bile coming out of her stomach so they will be checking her stomach in the next day or so. She didn't need blood all weekend, which was also nice since they had given her blood almost every other day the past week. They will look into started steroids on her this week, since her lungs aren't functioning as well as they should be at this point.
I helped the nurse check her temperature, change her diaper, and wipe her face and Ari handled it really well. She gets really annoyed at times when she has this done and she fights this hands on care and gets worked up, then her oxygen levels drop. Only when I was wiping her eyes, she did get touchy and I did have to stop and put my hands on her without moving to calm her. She lets us know what she doesn't like. Like the saying goes, "Actions speak louder than words." She can't speak, but she can stop breathing to be left alone...and she turns red.
I met a lady this weekend whose baby was born last Dec. at 23 wks. They told her there was a 95% chance her baby wouldn't make it. Her daughter had a lot of complications. Her due date was today and her daughter is 8lbs and learning to eat and breathe at the same time...then she will be ready to go home. God is amazing, He is in control of our lives. If we look around us and see all the things in this world and look at life and these little creations...how could there be no God?

Kari y Carlos, definitivamente Dios hace todo a perfección, incluso cuando se trata de algo fuera de nuestro alcance, control y entendimiento. Ariana es un ser creada a la imagen del Padre como lo fueron Adán y Eva en la creación y lo somos nosotros. Y aunque tal vez su cuerpecito aún no funcione como debería, Ariana tiene un corazón y es ahí donde Dios muestra su maravilla y amor.
Los mantendremos en nuestras oraciones.
"Ayúdense unos a otros a llevar sus cargas, y así cumplirán la ley de Cristo." Gálatas 6:2.
Con amor, Zoé y familia.
