Go Bibiana!

Mom was able to go to the hospital Friday to spend time with Noah and Bibiana, and was thrilled to see them since she hadn't been since Monday. Bibiana is off the feeding tube, out of the incubator, and now weighs 4 lbs 1 oz! She is doing great and eating well. In spite of his reflux issues, Noah is still gaining weight and is the biggest of the four at 5 lbs 1 oz! He looked especially big to Mom, who has been handling Alyssa and Valencia all week.

Both Noah and Bibiana are still being watched by the nurses for their ability to monitor their heart rate. The nurses like for them to go for 5 days without having a heart rate drop before being discharged. At this point, Wednesday is the earliest they could come home. Dad goes home to Nigeria on Sunday so Mom will really be needing help! Even if you don't have much experience, she likes the company. Please see Volunteer Spot at the upper right corner for the available shifts. Even if you can only cover a portion of a shift, please sign up then send a note to the coordinator (link on the left of the Volunteer Spot site). Most of all, please keep this family in your prayers!
