Abby is doing great. Her feedings are up to 18 mL per feeding.
I have to admit today was rough for me emotionally. We didn't have a plan set up for visiting her in the evening and I had a break down. Samantha is precious. She brought me a blanket and her favorite pink bear (Lulu) and sat with me as I cried and prayed. I spent my prayer agreeing with God that I couldn't do anything for Abby, but he could. So I begged Him to keep his hand of love and comfort on her, and to work it out where I could see her before bed that night. This all happened about 5:00 pm, which is very near a feeding for Abby.
We had found out earlier that Abby hadn't been fully digesting all her meals and was having about 5 to 6 mL left after each one. So they were giving her some meds to help her tummy be able to process everything.
My mom kept the girls and Jeff and I got to go see Abby at 8:00 pm. When we walked in the nurse told us she had already checked Abby's tummy and she only had 1 mL left from her last feeding. Thank you Lord for giving me just a small glimpse of what You can do without me. I know I didn't need to have confirmation of my prayers from earlier, but it was so sweet to have.
The feeding was great. Abby stayed awake the whole time and drank all of her 18 mL that she needed. Jeff fed her and she even stayed awake afterwards for a little bit. We got some good pics. I will try to post them later.
Praise God for being with us, each and everyone as we need Him.
