It's 5 am....that is in the morning, and thats early! The nurse came in to do some blood work on me at 4am, that was a delightful needle prick or 2 in the back of my hand because she knew my arm wasn't gonna work.
Since we were up Alex called down to NICU to see if we could come visit, which we could. They allow the parents down there anytime as long as there is not any procedures being done at the time on Mak or anybody else that is in there.
Mak is on 38% oxygen as of 5:00 this morning. That is 2% less than last night, which is good. Everything is just going to happen slowly for a few days. Her color looked a lot better and she seemed to be breathing a tiny bit easier but still fast and with labor. Her blood work from last night indicated that her white blood count was low. This could be that she is stressed or that there is an infection somewhere. They started her on antibiotics and will see how that helps her blood count today.
They have given her a pacifier and that little girl was going to town on it! It was as if she knew I had purchased WAY too MANY pacifiers over the last few months for here ;o)
Prayer Request:
1. Pray for more rest for Alex and I
2. Pray for Mak to continue to show signs of improvement, any little bit helps her to get better
3. Pray for our friends and families that are being so supportive right now and are being super great even though this has been a little rocky.

You are in my prayers sweet girl. By the way she is adorable. I'm sure everything will work out and you will be taking that sweet bundle of joy home very soon.
