Lyla Update...

Well, Miss Lyla is still in the NICU, but she is doing much better this afternoon. They have taken some chest x-rays and blood. The doctors have come to the conclusion her heavy breathing is caused from swallowing some amniotic fluid at birth. She is breathing better today and has even eaten a little out of a bottle. She has an IV for fluids and is taking a round of antibiotics, just in case. Hopefully, she will be moved tonight or tomorrow to the regular nursery. We will keep everyone updated. Here are the most recent pics from this morning. I got to hold her for about 45 minutes.
Just look at those cheeks!

Thank you for all your prayers!
I will try to post some more pictures tonight, if she gets to come to our room.

Oh Miss Lyla Mary you are absolutely precious! Slow that breathing down a bit little one, Tate and Emmy are anxious to see you up close!

Psalm 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. I know that full well.

Love Banty
