But, we did get to do a cool thing - feed her. The nurse, who we had a great conversation with tonight, came in with her syringe of milk. (up to 26cc every three hours) Asked me to hold it to warm it up some more. And then came over to hook it up to the syringe and let us slowly squeeze the milk to Sara. Who could have imagined that? Me, the dad, gets to feed her first. Neither of our older girls ever took a bottle, so this is the first time I have fed them anything this young. Jennifer could have done it, but was worried about squirting the whole thing down her throat. So I gave her the 26cc's in about 23 minutes. And she loved it - her numbers stayed high the whole time.
She also had her pic line taken out, so holding will be much easier. And we have a CAT scan scheduled for Tuesday. So we'll keep praying and waiting and watching for God to show up and do more great things in her life and through her life to others.
Aaahhh, less tubing. No pic line in left arm, and no arterial line in right hand.
Was reading through the Psalms this afternoon and came across one of my favorites - 67:1-2 "May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations." ESV May God do great things in our lives so His greatness is known through the nations! Enjoy
That pic of her hand next to the pacifier speaks volumes...such a tiny miracle! So glad to read that she is doing well!
