{I stole these from my sisters blog but here is an update.}
{They really need to have a hand or something beside her to tell how really tiny she is!}
BUT
".....Both are doing well.
The massive tube holding the baby's mouth open has since been removed and a different breathing tube has been put in her nose instead. Now she can express herself in some faint/quiet cries and probably feels a whole heck of a lot more comfortable.
It'll be awhile before she breaths on her own.
BUT she has gotten milk/colostrum through the feeding tube successfully.
AND she did pee within the first 12 hours.
Things are functioning and she remains in stable condition but will stay in constant and critical care in the Neo-Natal Unit of the for at least another 2-3 months, maybe more."
Thanks so much for the messages and those with advice from you who have had a premature baby and for all the love to my sister and her family your contined prayers and hope. They are so appreciated!

“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God … and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire.”

Oh what a sweet special little girl, both mom and daughter. I LOVE to hear what Indi has accomplished - such miracles.
I LOVE LOVE that quote - so so true
...I also love the quote by your family picture (on your sidebar). Can I borrow that?
jessica borrow ahead!
I'm to lazy to go into the post so an update goes here@
"India today is jaundice and under the lights. She's struggling to breath and periodically stops. medicinal caffeine through a tube gives her the extra boost she needs to keep breathing." from my sister liv
Thanks for all your prayers and your support is awesome and greatly appreciated especially by my sister! THanks!!
Oh that sweet baby. I was a NICU nurse so I know how hard it can be on those parents. Daily trips to the hospital are not easy. I hope your sister can stay strong during this time. The baby will probably stay there until her due date. I hope they all get the blessings they need!!! Those babies sure can fight though...even just 2 lbs worth of preciousness can be strong. Good luck to your entire family...I'm sure your sister has tons of support...which she will NEED!
Wow, prayers are going out for you all. She is so precious! Thanks for keeping us updated.
I just gave a Sunday School lesson on Sunday using that very quote. It seems like I have been reading on blogs and hearing soooo much lately about these crazy big trials!
Best wishes for your family and their baby!
