Thanks so much for praying for weight gain for Grace! Even after a 72 g "blowout" (poor nurse), she was 3 lb 14 oz tonight! That's 2.5 oz of gain.

Gracie's onesie says "I'm kind of a big deal"
True!! :) |
Thanks also for praying for good oxygen saturations and heart rates. Only one episode today, and it was Gracie, the smallest/youngest. Marcie was able to go down on the pressure being delivered by cannula, and all three kids on oxygen at St. Paul are needing less than yesterday. Please pray that continues!

Will and David both nursed awesome today, and Seth is doing really well at Children's. He was so alert when we went to visit him! I love how he looks right into our eyes when we talk to him. I also love that they've been able to wean his machine settings and nitric oxide without him needing too much more oxygen (60% still, though, so PLEASE KEEP PRAYING) and without his carbon dioxide going high. The nurse did say it's still pretty serious that he's on the oscillator support at this age, not even able to tolerate a regular ventilator, so he's obviously greatly in need of the Lord's healing touch. He grew more last night, though, so is well over 5 lbs, praise God! We are deeply grateful and encouraged by blessings in the midst of the uncertainty. We love him so much; we passionately hope God's will includes his complete earthly healing very soon. Thank you for all the prayers and kind words from everyone, even as far away as Ireland, Norway and Australia (not to mention PNG, of course)!
Love and gratitude,
Carrie
Yet another day of positive outcomes! Encouraged to hear Seth is doing so well at Children's. Gracie is just too cute! Blessings, a peaceful heart for you and your family and as always many, many prayers.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Little Marcie reminds me of my tiny one who couldn't keep that pacifier in. You're all in prayer and especially Seth

Hello! My family and I are missionaries in Fukuoka, Japan. We are from Mesquite, TX and heard the news about the babies being born. Children's Medical Center is a special place for us too. My husband worked for UT Southwestern for 7 years and our oldest son has severe asthma and the doctors and nurses took such good care us there. Anyway, I have been following your story and faithfully praying for your family and the babies. Sending hugs and prayers from 6000 miles away!! The Wyatt Family!! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! All the way from Japan! :) Thanks for praying and for sharing! Blessings, Carrie
DeleteWonderful to see these pics of the babies growing and doing so well! I'm praying daily for their needs, and with special urgency for sweet Seth. I'm so sorry to read the news about the mutation, and I'm praying for strength for your whole family as you process that and wait on the Lord.
ReplyDeleteNot sure where but you can buy little stuffed animals that have a paci attached or that you can attach one too. In fact,I saw a little one with one of these yesterday.
