One down and one to go

This is Payton's new look.

She is still waiting for her ECHO and cardio to see how her pulminary hypertension is doing but she's doing well so for now they're relying on what the baby is saying and not the tests.

Her feedings are another story andd aren't great. They're thinking of moving the tube lower in her digestive system (intestines) to bypass the stomach so they can get her nutrition from milk and not the IV.

Still, so happy for where we are today.

Incredible! I take it she's doing all her own breathing now. She is just a marvelous little fighter. I am so happy for you all. She is the sweetest, beautiful little girl. I continue with all me prayers and blessings. Please give her a big kiss from Grandma Helen.

Superstar Payton!!! Love her beautiful face. So happy to see her doing so well. Feeding is a challenge with our kiddos, so give it time and let her and her body keep working at it. Eventually, she will get there by herself or with some help, but she will get there. What a beautiful post to end the night on for me.

Hugs,
Tracy, Ian's mom from CHERUBS

PS - I read your blog to Marin a few days ago...she is very interested in baby Payton's progress...very concerned for her well being and asking lots of questions.
