Can anyone say 3 pounds?

Update...

Chase is 2 lbs 15 oz (1.33 kg)! Not much news on him today. He's still on the bubble CPAP but should be graduating to the next step in a couple of days...

Weighing in at a respectable preemie weight of 2 lbs 7 oz (1.13 kg) is our little Charissa. Although smaller than her brother, she has surpassed him in the all important category of breathing. Yesterday they took her off the bubble CPAP and placed her on the 'high flow nasal canula'. (I have given up at trying to fully understand all the medical terms. So I won't try to explain this to you either : ) Everytime I think I understand, I find out that my understanding isn't quite right). Needless to say, this is good news. After this step is the regular 'nasal canula,' and then it's on to unassisted breathing!

Life has truly slowed down for the both of us. We're able to come to the hospital and enjoy God's generous gifts. Both doctors & nurses have few words to say now... ...as we like to say, 'no news is good news.'

Please continue to pray for their development. May the Lord of Salvation open our eyes to His incomparable grace.

Resting,
Choi Family
