We want to thank you for your continued prayers for Bonnie. She is
doing much better. She is off of the medications now. They decreased
the oxygen levels today and just turned it off around 14:00. If she
continues to breathe normally, she will get to come out of the incubator
this evening.

After they started feeding her breast milk yesterday, she started
keeping food down. The doctor said that at first they thought she had
an intestinal problem because she kept vomiting when she was fed, but
they ran tests and found no problems. They think her intestines had
gotten lazy because her diaphragm was working over time.

The doctor said that she will possibly be ready to go home tomorrow, but
Wednesday will probably be more likely.

Thank you once again for praying. The doctor said that they can't
explain what happened because all the tests were normal when they redid
them the second time. We know that it is a direct result of so many
people praying for her. God answers prayer!!!

Thanks for the prayer!
