R and R

Riley’s blood culture still shows no infection- which is GREAT, but her tummy is still really swollen and full of air.  She is still off feeds (minus the nutrients in her IV).  PRAY it goes down.  It’s discouraging when something doesn’t get better after 3 days… pray that the Lord will reveal to the dr how to best help our little girl so she is able to get her feeds again and feel better.  She’s acting more active though and had her eyes wide open this morning!  I unwrapped her from her snuggly bed to change her diaper and she looked at me like… really?  Must you, Mom?  Not the first time I’ll get that look, I’m sure… :)

Reese is tolerating some feeds and not others, but they have slowly increased them a bit.  She’s at 8 cc’s of milk and we’re praying it will continue to increase.  She’s been SO ACTIVE!  She’s a strong little girl- she’ll squeeze your finger, lift up her head and turn it, and try to get out of her bedding… the nurse had to had a little “bumper” pillow around her head to keep her in… ha!  

So, no real new update right now- which is good.  And… I took some updated pics yesterday!!  They’re pretty cute if I do say so myself… I’m not bias or anything…

    You are so determined and strong and your little girls need that and can feel it. I can’t even imagine how tired you must be, the kids & I have been praying every night for your sweet little girls, we will add a prayer for mom & dad as well! I know everyone is saying this, but really, one mom to another, if you need anything, anything at all, please let me know, it feels a little helpless on this side…..

    We love you and your sweet little family, Cindy

    Amy I have been checkin in on you and your girls. I know you are so tired and worn out, I do remember that feeling. It does get better and all this will be hard to remember in a few months.
