Jera was able to hold Natalie for two consecutive days!! One of which was for 1.5 hours of kangaroo care!!! Natalie's weight has been fluctuating but at last check she was 2#6oz!!! What a big girl! :) Funny thing is that Natalie has been responding to Jera's singing and humming ~ Natalie really responds well (great levels and vitals) when J is singing a song that she likes or desats whenever she doesn't like something...how cute (well...not the desats)!! If I talk with J later today, I'll update you further.

Keep up those thoughts and prayers!!

That is so wonderful that she is responding to Jera! I am sure it is a wonderful feeling for Jera that Natalie knows she is there.

Thanks for the uplifting update. How wonderful for Jera and Natalie....I'll bet it was heavenly for Jera to hold her growing-bigger-every-day little one in her arms for so long :)

Please continue to send our well wishes their way.

Jera and Natalie- Keep fighting! We're so happy for you!

I seem to have E-I-E-I-O in my head all the time these days, so I'm sending out a long-distance jingle. Enjoy!

That's wonderful that Jera got so much kangaroo care time with Natalie. It must have been so good for both of them. I'm sorry she's still having trouble with dsats. Hmm. Maybe it's just a matter of time. I'm sending positive vibes and am thinking of them often.
