I'm afraid to even write this because I don't want to jinx it: we could be going home tomorrow or Friday. Emily has been taking all of her feeds through bottle for almost 48 hours now. She has just a few more to go. They even took her feeding tube out today. Atta girl!
Pray for our girl tonight! I'm optimistic that she'll make it. She's a strong little thing, holding her head up, looking all around with her big blue eyes. She's come a long ways and is as tough as they come (well, unless she's gassy. Then she's a little dramatic).
If how you've fared in your first two weeks of life is any indication of your future, Emily Ann, then it's a big one.
I can't wait to say PEACE OUT, NICU!
Praying for more strength for her and continued healing for every part of her!! -Marie
ReplyDeleteI am in tears reading this, praising our God for being the God of miracles, the God who sees us, hears us and answers us and loves Emily more than we could imagine!!! What a beautiful testimony her life already is - can't wait to meet your precious miracle baby girl someday and while I wait I am honored to pray over her amazing destiny ahead! Wooo hooo homeward bound my dear friend - the comforts of home soon to bring you and Emily a new joy!

Sending so many positive thoughts your way--Emily is so strong, and no wonder with a Mama as strong as she's got! I feel your love and determination for your family in every letter you write. Sending you all of my mama strength, too, to get you through the toughest moments.
ReplyDeleteWhat magnificent news! Deanna said it best...Praise our God for being the God of miracles. I bet you are so anxious to be at your own home with little Emily. I'll be praying for only good news from now on. :-)
