Give thanks to the Lord, for HE IS GOOD. 1 Chron 16:34

Reese is really loving being swaddled like a “big” baby… and she’s ADORABLE in her pink camo outfit (you will see in pic below)!  She’s been eating (and tolerating) 32cc’s of milk– yea!! and getting it in a bottle still 2 times a day.  Reese is doing pretty well with the bottle!!  She no longer has an IV or PICC line– just her “leads”- what a big girl!  Pray for continued health and that she continue to tolerate her feeds.  Lately when we’re holding Riley or talking to Riley, Reese begins to cry… we think she’s telling us to pay attention to her too.  ha!

Riley is doing/acting much better.  The blood culture did in fact grow bacteria and we’re praying that the second test-taken today- shows that it is gone.  Riley started on feeds again- starting very low- 3cc’s, but has been tolerating them– yea!!  She’s not on her nasal cannula (in hopes that that helps with her poochy tummy) and is kicking, screaming, “talking,” and looking all around lots.  She’s loving her paci more everyday, so I’m excited to try her on her bottle again (not sure when yet).  Pray for her continued healing and protection against other infection, that her tummy full of air goes down, and that her feeds continue to be tolerated and increased.  

We are so thankful and overwhelmed with how good God is- how he has faithfully answered our prayers and continues to do so, how he’s encouraged us through so many of you with her precious words, and how he promises us that he will not give us something we cannot handle.

And now for some pictures!…….I have so many, I’ll put some in a separate post above.
