life: week 8 day 2: A BIG STEP!!!!!!!









WHOAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! AMIRAH NATION ARE YOU OUT THERE!?!?!?!!?? YEAAAAHHHHHH!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! WE are on cloud nine right now, and I really hope you are too! If you have not heard today, we reached a major milestone! In keeping the wrestling motif, Amirah just won the Royal Rumble,and is on her way to wrestle mania! The road ahead is still tough, and there is going to major battles ahead, but tonight, we can celebrate a little!

Amirah... Is off the respirator! She is now on CPAP. Basically, this device provides air pressure to help keep her lungs inflated, and provide some oxygen. to help her breathing. However, she is breathing on her own folks. She is currently at 80% oxygen, comfortably relaxing and still eating like a ravenous baby tiger. She is resting comfortably, and is looking more and more like a normal healthy baby. We can assure you, she is still fighting like crazy, but (to mix my sports metaphors) she is looking more and more like Rocky in the later rounds of the fight!

They are also giving her steroids, to help with the throat swelling and edema that comes from being incubated for so long.

Folks, today is a great day! Jo and I feel as if a giant weight was lifted from our shoulders today. In no small part, that weight was lifted because of your prays and good energy. I can not thank you enough for your energy, love and prays, and all I can ask, is please keep it up!

Coming soon A.N., I will have a special treat for you! I will be posting a montage of all the photos taken of Amirah. The pics start from when she is just over two hours of life, till now. I think you will be amazed at the changes and differences.

Amirah Nation, thank you for your prays, Enjoy some of the pics, and good night.
