Adam called with an update.  Meriah has been moved to the other side of the NICU where the less critical babies are.  This is a good sign, though Adam and Crissy (and perhaps Meriah) had become a bit attached to their nurses.

They are going to let Meriah start ad-lib feeding, that is, feeding on demand.

Once she is off the IV, they will be able to move Meriah to a more private room for the last several days of her hospital stay.  Crissy will be able to stay with her.

Meriah is at the very lowest level of oxygen.  They may try to take her back off of it today.

Adam said they get a different feeling now when the doctors come around; everybody is a bit more upbeat and cheerful.

Adam and Crissy appreciated the one-week birthday well-wishes.

Adam expressed his appreciation for the thoughts and prayers of so many people.  Adam does periodically check NoLessDays to read the comments, though he hasn't had time to answer them at this point.

There have been several donations to help with the various costs associated with Meriah's hospitalization and follow-up care.  These are much appreciated.  I've asked Adam if he has an idea what their financial impact will be, but he doesn't know yet.  They are hoping most of the hospitalization up to this point will be covered.  Even if the present medical expenses are covered, your gifts will help with the various extra expenses as the new Williams family transitions back into normal life.

Adam and Crissy have not asked for financial assistance, but if you feel impressed to help, you can donate here, or by clicking the donate link in the upper right-hand corner of this page.  On the PayPal page please specify that the donation is for Meriah.

Please continue to keep Meriah in your prayers.
