The circle of life continues. Congratulations to you both on the birth of your daughter.

Congrats!!! But, what happened to December? What's another pound or two??? Glad it all is over for you...or should I say beginning for you? Guess we're next, followed by Mick. Not holding out for Eric...by the time he gets all that scuba crap off him, she'll be sound asleep. Come to think of it, she'd likely fall asleep either way. And then there's Don. At the rate things are going, PJ has a better chance of joining the "daddy" list before Don does.

Thanks everyone for the nice replys. Allison is still in the Special Care Nursery and is still on oxygen and antibiotics, her chest x-ray is better today. The doctors said her lungs are a little small since she was 2 weeks early. Please keep her in your prayers. Ella is dong fine. We are staying at the hospital with Allison even though Ella has been discharged, they are letting us stay in our room there. A good friend made this site for us since we have not been home. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/PierreStanto...byPictures.html

I visited the site Tine. Great pictures. Hope the little one gets to go home soon. These kinds of infections are fairly common and the anitbiotics should help. Our prayers are with you and Li sends her regards and congratulations.

The baby is absolutely precious. I hope you get to take her home soon.

[Tine & Ella]

Again thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. This afternoon Ella and I were able to bring Allison home from the hospital. She was taken off the oxygen yesterday morning and did well, and this morning we were told if she did well through 3:30 she could come home. Sure has been a long 8 days spent in the hospital, but so wonderful to have everyone at home. Hope by the weekend I can post some more pictures. Sure will be great to sleep in our own bed. Will update more later.

 

Thanks, Tine & Ella,Dana, Kelly and Allison

Glad you finally have everyone at home Tine. Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season. Make this Christmas a special one and remember how much better it is than the last one.
