A wee update...
Thank-you all for your comments and support!
Here is an updated picture of the wee one - she is getting stronger! The neonatologist was very optimistic today, and she said that our wee one is looking fantastic - so of course we were very relieved to hear that! She will have to undergo surgery - to help fix her diaphragm, and then hopefully her wee lungs will get stronger and no longer need any assistance to keep her breathing (she can breathe on her own, but does much better with help from the ventilator). And it looks like although she has a larger head, they don't think she has hydrocephalus afterall! But of course, they'll look into that more after the breathing issue is fixed. One thing at a time. But overall, very good news :)

Oh, hooray. I can't tell you how relieved I am that Wee One's health issues are resolving themselves. You've made yourself a beautiful little kiddo there. Lotsa hair. Good sign :-) I look forward to reading more of your posts as you come into this whole motherhood business. Oh, hooray.
Congratulations. She looks absolutely adorable. I hope she gets stronger and stronger by the minute and you get one good news after another.
I'm sorry that the Wee One has to undergo surgery, but I know she's going to do great! And I'm so so glad that all her health issues are resolving and that you have lots of healthy months to look forward to!
She really is beautiful.

I came here via sciencemama. Good luck and congratulations!
Congratulations on your new little one! She is beautiful!
My twins were born at 34 weeks and one had some significant lung issues and was on supplemental oxygen for quite a few months. She is now a normal 2 year old, running around with the best of them. I'm sure your little one will will be fine and home with you before you know it.

Congratulations! I hope the surgery goes well and your wee one is home with you as soon as possible.
Sciencemama sent me and I read through your archives. You've been through a lot and I hope that you have smooth sailing from here on out.
Congratulations! She's *beautiful!*
Sciencemama sent me. I'm sorry for the medical issues the Wee One is still dealing with, but it sounds like they are resolving, and wonderful news that you might not have to worry about the hydrocephalus after all! Sending you and your family good thoughts...
Congratulations!
