I'm really sorry guys. I meant only immediate family can visit. She's still not in good enough shape for ALL our family to meet her. It'd be overwhelming for her, and too likely she would catch something and not be able to have the surgery when she needs it.

Gisele had to get reintubated and go back on the regular vent yesterday. She reaccumulated fluid around the upper right lung and overall she was not getting enough air. This is par for the course with all the fluid she gets unfortunately. She got a chest tube replaced today, so her lungs look much better. We might see her go back on the NIPPV in a few days. It just depends how everything goes with the lungs.
She slept all day so i didn't touch her until last night. I decided to steal a kiss and she gave a little side eye when i came up to her. I stole my kiss then she fell right back asleep. Her Mother's Day present to me :) I'll take what i can get!

I and my circle of friends are continually praying for Giselle and for your family. I believe she was born for a special purpose. I am praying for God's blessing on all of you and healing for Giselle.

    Medical History:

    Born 2/7/14 eight weeks early with a large SCT tumor (Sacrococcygeal Teratoma) and lymphangiectasia causing severe chylothorax (aka pleural effusion).

    She weighed about 4 lbs plus the 2.5 lb tumor.

    Major five hour surgery to remove it on 2/13. Had to be resuscitated for about 90 mins when surgery was almost complete. It's a miracle she survived, and did not have significant brain damage. 

    The chylothorax caused a weak immune system and she passed away from a pneumonia infection on 5/21/14.
