Kyle had a small step back today, as Shiloh and I had yet another anatomy lesson. Apparently, lactic acid build up in your blood is bad, and in Kyle's case it is an indicator that his stomach and/or intestines aren't tolerating the amount of milk we're feeding him. After several tests, the doctors cut his milk intake back from 14 ml. per hr. to 3 ml. per hr. and will slowly try to increase the dose.
Some good news. . . the swelling seems to be subsiding ever so slightly in his face, even though they have not been as aggressive at taking off fluid. Also, we are back in the Ronald McDonald House for another 45 day stint. We can now walk back and forth to the hospital.
Special thanks to anyone reading from Crossings Church in Waco for their love offering. The Lord (through His people) has been providing for our every need during this trying time, even what we don't ask for from people we've never met. Amazing.

We are glad the swelling is going down even if it is just a little bit! And glad you are back at Ronald McDonald! Our Lord is so good! Thanks for writing every day. I am sure it is hard to sometimes, we all do appreciate it.

Lamentations3:22-23 ESV
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by moring new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided, Great is Thy faithfulness! Lord unto me!
Verse 3
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Hang in there guys! I know it is easy to get discouraged. Especially when your baby is hurting!
ReplyDeleteI know in my own life I want answers now! I don't want to wait till later. I want to have a hissy and stomp my foot! I said NOW!
Well, the Lord is gently teaching me patients.
Somtimes no change is not a bad thing. It means it's not getting worse. And that is GOOD!
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
