Twelve Weeks Old

Monday Abigail was twelve weeks old.  She has overcome many difficulties in those twelve weeks and she continues to fight.  She was weaned off of the nasal canula (oxygen tube in her nose) early this morning and her replogle (tube down her nose - used to drain off fluid from her stomach) was removed about noon. No tubes on her face for her to try to pull out.  Abigail got her first feed of 30ml given over 30 minutes through her g-button at three this afternoon.  They will slowly progress to a full feed of 90ml by tomorrow afternoon if she does well with them.  She is more alert and seems much less groggy from meds today. Abigail's heart rate continues to puzzle everyone by how low it is but all other signs are showing the heart is doing its job.  We will continue our journey tomorrow and pray for continued strength, healing, and comfort. Thank you for joining us in that prayer.
