Sign you see when walking into the NICU
Another good day today. The highlight was Scarlett coming off her oscillator... for another oscillator. The one she was on was not correlating well and seemed to be changing the oxygen levels on its own. She currently weighs 2 pounds, 7 ounces and is eating 16 mls of breastmilk per feeding. We kept hearing that they would increase the feeds quickly and they were not lying. Her chest X-rays are improving but she still has a lot of dense areas, now more on her right side. The last time they checked, her blood culture from the 17th was still negative.
Grayson is now up to 2 pounds, 6 ounces and is also taking in 16 mls. They decreased the Breaths per Minute setting on the vent to 30 and for most of the time I could see he was still breathing over it! He had his last antibiotics this morning and should get his PICC line out tomorrow!
Beautiful sign. Scarlett and Grayson certainly are God's little miracles. Thank you so much for giving us their weights. All the people here who are praying keep asking me how much they weigh at this point. Now I can tell them. Thank God for the improvement in Scarlett's chest x-rays and for Grayson getting his PICC line out. To paraphrase our first astronauts on the moon...one small step for us..one giant step for the babies. Please God, let today be another good day! Surrounding all of you in love and prayer!

ReplyDeleteHeavenly Father, we come before you today in thanksgiving for what great things you have done! Thank you for each step Grayson and Scarlett has made and we ask you to continue to keep helping them grow, increase their feedings, take steps to get off the vents, keep them free of bacteria, and finally to keep their parents strong in health and in spirit. In Jesus name - Amen!
The sign says it all! We are not 'some' people. We believe in miracles, hope for them, rely on them and keep watch for their arrival in our lives. Grayson and Scarlett are precious miracles and we are blessed to have them. Today I am praying Beth's prayer, word for word. In Jesus's name - Amen!
