THE BEST NEWS EVER!!

Dr. Jenkins has said for the first time, that he thinks Lexey is going to make it!!!! That is big news! The doctor also removed her IV that went in her stomach. They put in a feeding tube and feed her a little milk at 11:00 AM. They will be doing this every 3 hours. Kim is pumping what she can and taking it to the hospital for Lexey. Kim also got to change one of Lexey's diapers today!! And she got to take Lexey's tempature! Needless to say it has been a great day and only getting better. Tonight Brian and Kim will go up and get to hold Lexey to their skin (its called skin to skin time). Thanks to you all and your faith! The Lord has blessed us so much with this beautiful girl for us to love and He has listened to our prayers to let us have her for a longer time than some thought possible. She is our little miracle baby!

I want to let you know that you are in so many peoples thoughts. Everyone at the Wal*mart Pharmacy is kept up to date about Lexey and we are so happy for you guys!!! This little girl has so many people that care for her, it is just awesome to think about it. I went to see her on Wednesday, and eventhough she was in the back of the room, it was such a special thing for me to see her. So tiny, and such a little fighter!!! Way to go Lexey!! You rock little girl.
