End of day 2...

We are so excited to post pictures of Gracelyn oxygen free. When went down this evening they had taken her oxygen off. She has gone all day with her oxygen in the low 90's on her own and so they finally took it off.

Although she was taken off the oxygen ,today has been a bit of a struggle for our sweet girl. She has been quite uncomfortable. We did, however, end the day with her more calm and with more visitors. Grandpa, Grandma and Camee brought Cole down to visit again. Like it should be, Grandpas and Grandmas are special here. With the permission of the parents, grandparents are the only ones besides parents that can hold the babies. My parents were both able to hold her for the first time tonight. Like he did with Cole, grandpa is already saying, "Grandpa, grandpa, grandpa." Trying to get it to be her first word.

Aunts Camee, Tara and Val were also able to visit.

I wish they could all hold and love her like we've been able to. It is so comforting to have her in your arms. I felt much better after I was given the chance to hold her tight and love her instead of just looking at her. I was sad to say goodbye to our nurse. She has been amazing. She won't be back until Monday and Gracelyn most likely won't return to that area after surgery. I don't know that she would ever see this, but thank you for taking such great care of our baby girl Chris. We will always be grateful!

Grandma brought her a doll down that says Mommy's blessing on the belly.

We are anxious to get tomorrow here and over with, but both feel very confident that all will be well. We will update as things happen tomorrow. Thank you for all the love and support that has been sent our way. We are very grateful for all the prayers that are being offered in our behalf.
