Praises and Prayer Requests



We do have praises. The girls have both tried bottle feeding and did well with it. Kamryn is taking two bottles a day right now, and Taylor was taking one a day. Kamryn also took her own nasal canula off the other day, and they kept it off because she did so well. She is now requiring no breathing help! Praise the Lord!
The reason I say Taylor was taking one a day, is because she got sick suddenly today. She was fine this morning, then all the sudden this afternoon her heart rate jumped over 200, she was lethargic, and she started having spells of apnea. A red spot on her cheek started swelling, so the Dr. suspected infection in her cheek, he called it cellulitis(sp?). By later this afternoon, she had to have her breathing tube put back in and was put back into the critical unit, where they were when they were first born. She's on strong antibiotics and received blood today, so hopefully she will improve soon. She went down so quickly it was scary. Please keep her in your prayers, as well as Kamryn, who is without her sis again. Pray she can stay well, also. Thanks so much to all of you for your encouraging comments and prayers.

We're praying for you all, especially Taylor, right now! It's wonderful that Kamryn is doing well on her bottle feeding & I know that Taylor will be right behind her. We are praying that the doctors are given guidance from God & that they will know exactly what will help little Taylor get better as soon as possible!
Love,
Emily & Kevin

Look at that little face with the bottle! How sweet!

Continued prayers go up for you guys. Praying for the wisdom of the dr's so that they know exactly what to do for Taylor. And for the strength of you two as well as Kamryn's continued improvement.

My dad has had cellulitis so I know it can be painful. I'll keep praying for Taylor and that Kamryn will stay well.
