Alex has been full of smiles all day. She had a good night and we are still working on getting her nights and days straight. She's going to bed between 1 and 2am which will not work out so well at home! Her physical therapy session went well today. They did massage, range of motion exercises, stretching and showed mommy things we can do at home to get her up to speed with her development. She also saw OT today and although she was excited to have her bottle again, she still had a hard time sucking. This often happens to babies who have been on the ventilator for a long period of time. We'll just keep working on it everyday.Alex has been getting a lot of attention lately from the staff here and when a nurse or respiratory therapist meets her for the first time, they tell her they've heard all about her chubby arms. She loves the attention.
We love the names you all are coming up with for her latest video and are glad we can stay connected and interact with the outside world :)

It was sooo good to finally hold Alex again and see her feeling good and back to herself. It was also great to see Nicole in good spirits! The first thing I thought of when I saw her video is "Alex's pillow talk". She's doing great and will hopefully be going home soon.
Love,

Words can not describe how happy I am to see Alex up and happy! :) I am overjoyed and I'm sure you and Jimmy are too! She looks absolutely beautiful and I don't think anyone could pull off a hospital gown quite as well as her! (hehe) Love you guys!
Auntie Lauren!
