An Update from Nate's Dad yesterday: Tricia is still in ICU. The stresses of everything in the past 3 weeks are being tough on her right now. It's (stress, baby, meds, hormonal changes, ICU, surgery, etc.) all ganging up on her. Her mom and dad, as well as Nathan are with her. She desperately needs some good sleep. Thanks for your prayers for her continued healing. Also a great report from Nate on Gwyneth's intestinal condition: Gwyneth Rose's distention is all but gone! The barium enema they gave her did the trick (meaning it helped her make a few very large poops)! I went down to visit with her around 2:30am this morning, knowing that they had taken another x-ray at midnight and hoping for a good report. The nurse practitioner showed me the x-ray they had taken at 4pm yesterday compared to the one they had taken at midnight tonight, and the difference was incredible. Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! They said they may wait a little while to let her intestines and tummy relax, but they should try the CPAP again and start feeding her both within the next few days, which is great news. Please, pray with us that the distention is a thing of the past, that she will tolerate the CPAP well, and that she her belly will love the breast milk and her body will begin growing more because of it. ********************************** Lord, thank you so much for all You have done to heal Gwyneth's intestines. You are so amazing, faithful and good. But now, Tricia really needs You, Lord. Please move so close to her that she might feel Your breath on her cheek. Comfort her and give her Your hope and assurance that You are still with her and will be every step of this journey. Her heart is overwhelmed, Lord, and she really needs You right now. Please be her rock and give her rest and peace.
