What a beautiful face! What a JOY to continue to celebrate what God is doing in and around Charli!
Adam shares more prayer requests with us all:
"I think there was some disagreement between the speech pathologist and the doctor about what would be best for Charli. They stopped all oral feedings for 48 hours, but then the nurse practitioner placed the order for her to receive 5 cc(s) of breastmilk with rice cereal in it (to thicken it so she might send it to her belly instead of her lungs). Unfortunately, she had been sending much milk into her lungs. This is especially bad since she has chronic lung disease. She is offered the 5 cc mixture twice a day. To gain a perspective on how much that is, it takes 30 cc to make 1 ounce! Keep praying for her swallowing and breathing!
On a positive note, she is now 6 pounds, 12 ounces! This Thursday will make 40 weeks gestationally! Pretty crazy, huh? Char Char will be 15 weeks on on Wednesday."
happy birthday, char char! you've come so far, sweet baby. looking forward to family time for you soon, i hope. praying for your swallowing and keeping your little lungs clear. grow on, little girl!
