Thursday is the big day! They are putting Hope onto the home ventilator around 8 am Thursday morning. Hope needs to be on the home ventilator for 2 weeks before she'll be allowed to go home. We are all praying very hard that the two weeks go very well and that she will be cleared to go home.

After reviewing the growth charts with Hope's nutritionist it looks like Hope is at exactly the right weight. She's a tad shorter that she should be at this point so they are going to add some extra protein to her feedings in hopes of getting her to grow a little bit longer.
