Dear Family and Friends,
Reagan continues to gain strength each day and is growing like a weed. She weighs 4 pounds and 6 ounces today. She loves her bottle and is taking an ounce every three hours. We are adding thickener to her milk to help with reflux. So far this seems to really be helping. She is still on the nasal cannula but if continues to eat well we will start weaning her off this too. She did have one ugly episode tonight while I was feeding her where she refluxed and decided to stop breathing again. This is always scary to watch happen and reminds me how I have no control of the situation. I am continuing to trust God to protect my little girl as that is all any of us can do. I know He has great plans for Reagan and can not wait to watch them unfold. Please continue to keep Reagan in your prayers that the reflux will go away and we can feel safe to bring her home. Thanks for all your support!
Love,
Amy, Robert, and Reagan

Wow!! She has grown a lot!!!! She weighs as much as Michael did when he came home. He is 2 1/2 and still has really bad reflux! It is normal to be having dinner and he just throws up.
I love the picture of you guys sticking out your tongues!! Thank you for keeping us updated!!!

I can't believe how big she is getting. I miss seeing her so much (and I miss her mommy and daddy just a little bit too)!!
I know the exhaustion of living out of the hospital and making such frequent trips has to be about more than you all can take by this time, but just keep trusting that God will sustain you. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help. I know there's so much going on and I would love to help in anyway I can.
I love you all,
Danelle

AHHH! She is so big!!! The family picture is adorable! You all look so great!

I'm glad the reflux is improving!! That is awesome! I hope she keeps doing well and you get to ditch the canula!! Hopefully, the thicker feeds will get rid of those episodes for good.

Reagan--girl, you are going to get grounded again! You better quit caring mommy and daddy! I hear your new room is very cool and you should try hard to get strong and go sleep in your room (or mommy and daddy's room :) )

We can't wait to have you all back! I hear Reagan is growing some more rolls for us all to pinch! :) Go girl go!!

So good to see and hear of Reagan's growth and steady progress toward health. She sure is a cutie!!!

Praying that the reflux will calm down - nothing like these "blips" to keep you on your toes! (Or more accurately - scare you half silly!)

What a home-coming soon to be celebrated- WOW!

Love, hugs and kisses,
Aunt Rebecca & Uncle Steve, Aaron

I was able to go see baby Reagan tonight along with Nana. She is looking so good and feels great holding her. I think she was 4 lb. 11.9 oz. this morning. She actually looks chubby. She tolerated her bottle very good while we were there. It won't be long now!
Thanks so very very much to everyone that had a part in the benefit on Saturday. I know a lot of you worked very hard to get all the donations for the silent auction. For you bikers I know it was very hot but we thank you for tolerating the heat for the fund raiser. I know several of the workers got extremely hot from the sun. I hope everyone is recovering well. Angie we can not thank you enough for heading it all up. I will let Amy and Robert fill you in on the success. Thanks again.
Also thanks to the High Point Enterprise for a wonder story and pictures to promote the benefit. I could go on and on.
