Thanks for All Your Prayers





This morning, the girls seem to be doing well. Taylor’s feedings have been going well. She had a little residual (leftovers in the belly) today, so they decided to slow them down a little. Kamryn has begun not having residual and had a messy diaper without any help, so that’s progress. After doing a chest x-ray on Taylor, they determined her lungs weren’t handling the ventilator well, so they hooked her up on a gentler machine. We didn’t find this out until going in last night and her bed was surrounded by about eight people learning about the machine. This kinda made us nervous, to say the least, to walk in and see all that activity around our daughter’s bed. It seems to be what she needs, though. The last x-ray showed her lungs looked much better. This new machine is a bit more involved, however, so we are not able to do Kangaroo care at this time. We did get to do it two nights in a row, and are glad for that. There was another head scan done on Taylor yesterday. We haven’t talked with the doctor about it yet, but her chart showed that there has been no significant change for the better or the worse. Pray for a change for the better. We really can't express how much your prayers and encouragement mean to us.
