Valentines Day Celebration

McKinzie now weighs 8 pounds! We have been so blessed by her incredible progress. McK no longer needs oxygen or an apnea monitor - that means we can dance around the living room and go for walks around the block - free from wires and tanks! The next few weeks we will be working with developmental specialists to assess Mck's progress and help us look for the milestones she'll be reaching at her "adjusted age". Thanks again for all the prayers, support and encouragement!!

"Due Date" has arrived!

McKinzie's "due date" has arrived so she is now officially at term! She is even fitting into her newborn size clothes, leaving behind the preemie stage! We've always been asked who she favors, and now that she's at term we'd love to see what you all think!

McKinzie is eating, sleeping and growing! Her oxygen is now needed only at bottle time. She also had her last eye exam this week! We are overjoyed that her eye development is on schedule and we can d/c the routine exams. Thanks again for your continued prayers and support!

Life with the Hall family

McKinzie now weighs 6 lbs 3 oz! She has an amazing team of doctors set up for her in San Antonio and is adjusting well to life at home. She is still on oxygen and an apnea monitor and will continue these through the flu season. Luckily the winter season is a little shorter deep in the heart of Texas!

We've been so fortunate to have Grandma Judy with us! Andy and Beth have rested well and have enjoyed home cooked dinners! Thanks Ray, Kaylynn and Landon for sharing Judy with our new family!

Home Sweet Home

One month ahead of schedule, we've been so blessed to bring McKinzie home!

She seemed to love her carseat and slept the whole ride from Dallas to San Antonio.

McKinzie is now taking meals only from the bottle - no need for the tube! She is still on low levels of oxygen, which she should outgrow in a few weeks. She weighed 4 lbs and 12 ounces the day we left the hospital!

A huge thanks to all of you - your prayers and support have been truely amazing! And a special thanks to the staff at Baylor NICU for taking such great care of our baby girl - you guys are the stuff of giants and heroes.

Thanks Mark and Marty for providing a home and a haven for Beth while in Dallas!
