I know I am in trouble since Carissa is hardly seen in the picture but I had to show you the first family photo. Carissa had a little bit of a rough night last night in that her temperature dropped some and caused her oxygen levels to go down and just didn't sit well with her. They wound up putting her in one of the incubators as perhaps a bit of an over-reaction but it did the job. She will probably sleep much more soundly in there because it really filters out much of the NICU noise.
She had a better day today. Pamela fed her just a little to get her thinking about the idea and I got to give her a little of her 6:00 meal with a bottle. She did well but tired out after about 10 cc's so she took the rest of it through the tube.
- Please thank God for another good day and that her step back was a very minor one.
- Please pray that her eating improves and that she is able to take more of her milk orally without disturbing her breathing and oxygen levels.
- Please pray that her platelet situation will improve and that she will become self-sufficient (really God sufficient) and not have to keep taking transfusions
- Please thank God for the progress we have overheard about with Dante, the other preemie in her immediate area, and pray his progress will continue. He has really improved since we started asking y'all to pray for him a few days ago. Pray we will have an opportunity to mention your prayers and the timing of his improvement to his Mom.
- Please pray that God is given the glory in everything surrounding Carissa's improvement.
Thanks for all your prayers and please keep praying,
Terry
