Clover has been doing pretty darn good considering how early she is. Her oxygen levels are pretty stable, but her respiratory rate is fast and she is just too tired to eat. She ended up being flown to Billings, MT which is where we are now. We will probably be here at least a couple of weeks. The nurses and doctors are taking such good care of her and hopefully we will all be on our way home before too long.
And now for the best part, pictures of our sweetie pie!!

He got sick on the flight, but our little peanut just slept right through the bumpy ride.]
