He hears our prayers...

Just thought it would be good for everyone to see how far she's come--she was 2 days old in this picture.
A sneak peak of Susan's photo shoot. :)
Some of Lyla's health care team--Dr. Josephson (geneticist), Dr. Jedele (Lyla's main doctor who is a geneticist and pediatrician), and Theresa (Lyla's care coordinator).  They're all wonderful!

Well, today was Lyla's second doctor's appointment since she's been out of the hospital.  Joel's parents and Joel & I made bets on what her weight would be.  She weighed 5 lbs when she was born and when she was discharged from the hospital.  At her first doctor's appt she weighed 5 lbs 7 oz. Since that appt she has gained 1 lb 11 oz for a grand total of 7 lbs 2 oz!  She never ceases to amaze us and the doctors!  She also grew 1 and 1/3 inches in length!  The girl does like to eat. :) And everything else is just fine too.  Her doctor (Dr. Jedele) said she is truly amazed at how well Lyla is doing.  All we can say is praise the Lord.  He truly hears our prayers.  So thank you for your continued prayers for our precious little miracle, Lyla Jane.     

Psalm 33: 20-22  "We wait in hope for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.  In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name.  May your unfailing love rest upon us O Lord, even as we put our hope in You."
