one week old

It has been one hell of a week so far. Hailey is doing great. She has been slowly weaned off of her ventilator. She is still on it but she is down to 15 breaths per min of the machine breathing for her. She started at 40. She has had 2 blood transfusions because she can not produce enough blood for herself due to her being so small and premature. Also since the doctors and nurses have to take her blood in order to check on her health we are being are own enemies with that. She has started to open her eyes and hold our fingers when we touch her. Megan and I both have been able to change her diaper. It is a weird experience due to her being so small and we feel like we are going to break her. She has also started to be fed Megan's breast milk. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers and we would appreciate it if everyone would continue. This is a first of many posts and we will be posting pictures and video.
