Life Days 11, 12, 13: Joy :)

Hellooooooooooooooooo Amirah Nation! Thank you for staying tuned, thank you for your support of Amirah, and thank you so, very, very much for your prays and energy!

I have great news folks, so I am going to get right too it! As you all know, we have been very worried about Amirah's intestines, and so have the doctors. They have been keeping a close eye on it, and the thing we have been praying for has been... Poop! We'll folks.... We have Poop!!! And from the reports given to us, it's one we would all be proud of!

So folks, we are now flying five by five as the jet jockeys would say, and Amirah is currently resting comfortably! They are slowly weaning her down on the oxygen. She is currently floating between 50% and 60% percent oxygen (she goes up while the nurses are checking her. I qoute "She gets really fiesty if I mess with her."). She is being feed 1.5ml of breast milk an hour, and she is only receiving fats and a calorie booster. She is doing extremly well right now, and no small thanks to you, Amirah Nation! Apparently the universe and that big ref in the sky is hearing you, so please, please keep it up!

We spoke with her doctor today, and he wanted to stress a few things to us. Amirah's progress is excellent, and she is doing well. However, she is still, extremly early, and her systems are still immature. Amirah's lungs are fully inflated, however they are still full of mucus and gunk. Also, her lungs are so little, and so delicate, they did sustain some damage from the ventilator. It's going to take time to heal. She is still very susceptable to infection, and basically her systems will need time to develop.

We are by no means out of the woods Amirah Nation. She is still fighting like hell, and giving the nurses a hard time :) Amirah needs you nation! She is currently healthy, and looking good, and we want her to stay that way!

Amirah currently has this thing on the ropes, and we need you to please, please, keep sending her that energy. Please let that ref know she is too precious to NOT win. She has a long, long fight ahead of her, but if we can keep her stable, comfortable and on the climb, we will win.

Thank you again for taking even a few seconds to think of my daughter, to send your prays about her, to send your love and energy. I will update win we have another major update.

Untill then Amirah Nation! Keep Cheering! Keep Praying! And Keep sending the energy!!!
