Prayer = Consistent Improvement

There is nothing like good news to set the tone for the day. We were pleasantly welcomed (as always) by our nurses in the NICU this morning bringing us fantastic news. The medicine seems to be working its magic on our little Liam and he is growing stronger all the time. Liam actually ate 20 ML of formula this morning for the nurse and ate 22 ML during his feeding with me. The rest of his ration was given to him through his feeding tube. He still seems genuinely tired, but more alert and less agitated, which is truly a blessing. Liam has also been able to sleep soundly for a few hours and not spend his time waking up and trying to sleep. This I am sure has caused a lot of upset and his tiredness overall. His scores were also consistently lower over the last 24 hours, at a 5, a 7, then another 5 and 7 over night. This is fantastic! We also learned that Liam did gain some of his weight back over the last two days, weighing in at 7 lbs 1 oz. He lost a full pound after birth till now. So we are so happy with this progress. Slow and steady is always a good thing.

We were over joyed to hear of his progress and we give all the credit to all the prayers I know have been going out. Liam seems to be doing good, though still scoring close to the danger zone, the medicine seems to be keeping him content. Over the next few days the doctors will determine how next to proceed. So please keep praying that he continues to get better and increase his feeding and coordination to eat on his own through the bottle. Thanks so much for all your prayers and keep them coming!
