Reagan Jean Hulsebus: 3 weeks old

Reagan's Story

Though she be but little... she is fierce. -William
Shakespear

Reagan Jean Hulsebus was born at 22 weeks 4 days gestational
age at 5:43 AM on August 1, 2012. She tipped the scales at a tiny 1 pound
1 1/2 ounces, and was just 10 1/2 inches
long. Though Reagan came into the world much sooner than anticipated, she is
making her presence known. She is a very active micro-preemie, spending much of
her time kicking, punching, and squirming. Reagan has a very long road ahead of
her but she is in the very best hands with a team of and most capable NICU
doctors and nurses anywhere.

3 weeks old

Well today wasn't a very fun Birthday for Miss Reagan. She is stabilizing nicely now but this Momma is too tired to elaborate much tonight. I will update more on her tough day later. For now know that Reagan is still working hard to get back on track after another day of the "preemie dance" that Dr. McElroy told us to expect from day 1. Today was a step back after a few steps forward but we knew that there would be bad days amongst the good. Tonight have a look back on the progress Reagan has made so far.
