Abby is doing great. She now weighs 3 lbs 6.9 oz. We have been told she might come home this weekend. They are adding some formula to her milk so that she will get some extra protein, phosphorous and calcium. If her tummy handles this well then she will very likely come home quick. If her tummy doesn't handle it good, then it will be a few days to let her tummy get better and then I am not sure after that.
She is growing wonderfully. Last night when I was holding her God's Word just kept coming to mind. He knit Abby together inside of me in such a way that she was totally ready for this world. God made her wonderfully. May she grow in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man.
My hope is in Christ not in what the doctors tell me. I have to admit that this took me a minute because after the doctor said they were adding formula to Abigail's milk it took the wind out of my sails. She hasn't done well with adding things to her milk in the past. But I had to remember the faithfullness of my Father/Creator. Like I said above, He made Abby perfect at 2 pounds 13 ounces, He can help her little tummy handle this. Or He will help me handle it, whichever needs to happen. We are blessed beyond our imaginations. My hope is in the unfailing Creator of this world, the Author of my story and Abigail's, the Redeemer who loves me.
1 John 4:8 says God is love. 1 Corinthians 13:8 says Love never fails. Let us all try to remember that in our everyday ups and downs.
