Update

We figured that we would keep everyone informed on how Autumn is doing by having a blog for everyone to check.. (We will post pictures soon I promise). So far, she is doing fine. As many of you know, since we have already gone through the NICU experience with Carly, it can be a rollercoaster. Progress one day, and setbacks the next. We can only hope she does as well as her big sis, and we get her home with us as soon as possible.

Autumn is currently on c-pap. These are nasal prongs that provide some extra pressure to help her breathe. It is common for small babies to need help breathing at first, but the goal is to get her on room air as soon as possible. She has not needed to go on a ventilator and we hope to keep it that way.

Autumn is currently being fed breast milk through an IV and seems to be tolerating the feedings well so far.

Autumn will receive several tests over the next few weeks, and we will keep everyone posted on how she is doing.

Things have been kind of hectic since Carl and I will be busy running back and forth to the hospital and taking care of Carly, but we appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, phone calls, text messages, etc.
