Anna Grace - January 15
Just a quick note about last night. At 9:00 pm she was put on 12 ml per hour of Portagen which she appeared to tolerate fine. At 1:00 am they increased her feeds to 20 ml per hour. By 2:00 am she was screaming & crying and inconsalable (but she never threw up). We had an awesome nurse last night (PRAISE GOD) who decided at 2:00 am to turn off the feeds & call the doctor. The doctor said give her tummy a little time to rest & then decrease feed to 16 ml per hour & see how she tolerates it. By about 3:30 am Anna Grace had stopped crying and calmed down. At 4:00 am we turned the feeds back on at 16 ml per hour. She appeared to tolerate that fine. At 6:00 am we increased feeds to 18 ml per hour and I'll be confident by about 8:00 am if she'll be able to tolerate that. Her ultimate goal is 25 ml per hour continuous feeds and THEN to start compressing. I have a feeling our little one will let us know when it is too much. For now, I am thankful for an overall pretty good night. I did manage to get a couple hours sleep tonight. Also, Anna Grace's nurse tonight has been awesome and that has made such a big difference for us. Thank you Lord. Also, thank you friends for praying for us....

Tina,
I praise the Lord for His provision of this new formula and for Anna Grace's nurses and doctors. I pray that you will be able to rest today and that Anna Grace will be able to tolerate the feeds.
I wish I was there to give you a big (((hug)))!
In His Love,
Pam
We're joining hands with you through prayer! We pray for you several times a day -- you are doing so well, Tina. Even though it's so hard, you're doing so well, and we are going to stay in the trenches with you!
Lacy and I know all too well the roller coaster that you're going through. The best advice I can give you is to Praise & Pray. Praise God for bringing her this far and pray for continued healing. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Praising & Praying!
Jared & Lacy
