Hey, All.
Team Beatrice welcomes you to the 21st century via our shiny new blog. Our email list was getting out of hand, so this format should allow us to give more people access to the latest and greatest news about our favorite NICU patient. It will also allow us to post pictures without clogging everyone's in-box.
Feel free to pass along the url to whomever may be interested.
So... down to business.
Before beginning the substance of today's entry, Team Beatrice needs to remind everyone where we are: our little Bea is still critically ill and has a long way to go before anyone can think about upgrading her condition.
That said, Team Beatrice has recently become more optimistic about Bea's long-term chances. Last night (or was yesterday?), Bea's doctors removed her left chest tube and she appears to be dispelling increasing amount of fluids on her own. In fact, her mommy had to change her diaper three times in five minutes this morning because she kept peeing through it. Furthermore, we can now see Bea's little ribs, and she appears to be attempting to breath on her own.
Continued thanks to all who write with words of kindness and encouragement. Bea's got a long haul ahead of her, but this amazing community is giving her, and her parents, the strength to go on.
Much love,
Team Beatrice.

What a wonderful idea, Ian, to create a Team Beatrice Blog. Of course, we reserve the right for constant telephone and other contact as well. I and my entire family (Patty, Karen, Mike, and Erik) are thinking of you, Carol, and tiny, brave Beatrice every day. I will pass the TBB URL along to them.
This is an awesome idea! I am thinking of you three all the time and it is so nice to get these daily updates and hear about what Beatrice has acheived each day. You must be so proud of her!
Ian, we in Denver HUD have been kept informed by Erika Hall and Don Miller, and your blog is a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing what is going on. Needless to say, we are thinking about you and wish Team Beatrice all the best! Li'l Bea sounds like a winner!!
Best regards, Frances Lively
