Greetings.
We continue to pray that Elsa and Jonas will grow and heal under the watchful care of the nurses and doctors at the NICU. Elsa gave us a bit of a worry on Sunday but it has been three days now of good prognosis from the doctors. A G.I. specialist came and looked at her and felt pretty confident that she was most likely just having typical preemie issues with digestion. Sometimes preemies intestines aren't quite firing 100% of the time and cause a large residual. With several days of good indicators, the doctors are getting ready to restart her feedings in the next two days. This is wonderful news and we are hopeful that this goes smoothly. Even with all this commotion, Elsa has had a couple of days of really good blood gases. Keep on going sweetie!
Jonas is now a member of the three pound crew (T.P.C.). He had another steady day with good results on his feeding and his blood gases. If he holds steady we are going to give him another go without the ventilator on thursday! Our prayers are with him and we know he will give it his best effort.
Thank you for the continued prayers and support during these hectic times. Prayers of healing for Jonas and Elsa.
God Bless,
Dan & Mari & Elsa & Jonas
Wow! Look at those BEAUTIFUL eyes, and hands and fingers. So special.So much love shared in your photos. Your notes of ups and downs are, at moments, heart-wrenching. We live, day by day,in our own lives. But, these days with Jonas and Elsa seem more intense and anxious. So, it really boils down to our complete trust in our Lord and Protector. That's all we have. That's all we need. Come by here, My Lord. Come by here. We love you guys, Don and Delores

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like maybe she was overzealous to beat J to the TPC! I'm thrilled to hear good things!
