Love and boldness from Beautiful Kelly:
Spent the morning with my precious one. Candy told me that she had taken ALL of her last 3 out of 4 bottles. Such great progress. When I was there I was able to give her the full bottle as well. It is still a lot of work and takes a lot of patience but God is moving. I know first hand it is and will only be because HE has worked that she not need the feeding tube surgery. My heart is so amazed at what God is doing and I want to boldly claim his miraculous work in and through Charli. Please continue to join me in this prayer. She has made so much progress but we still have a ways to go.
It looks like we will opt for Charli to come home on the monitor. She had a heart rate drop in the middle of the night. Undetected she could die. Please pray that these episodes totally stop...today.
Here are a few pics from today. One is of her empty bottle...YEA! The other shows her sats at 100%. The final one is our happy girl just waiting to be brought home. Please join me and pray hard.
JOY and STRENGTH tonight from Adam:
Well, we had a good visit with Charli today. God has been so gracious in the way He has enabled her to take her bottle-feeds so much better. It has truly been a miracle. Our nurse was talking about sending Charli home. This is not talk that we're used to hearing. I know you immediately have many questions about when and what has to happen prior to her release...well, we don't have answers as of yet. We are so excited and grateful..., and we're also extremely overwhelmed and nervous. Charli will definitely be on oxygen and a heart monitor. In addition, she'll have quite a few medicines and supplements to take. Seems pretty frightening... at the same time we want her home so badly. The monitor will not tell us how her oxygen is doing. We'll have to determine that by her facial and body cues. They're discuss Home Care where a nurse would come by a few times a week to check Charli (blood pressure, growth, etc.). I'm not sure if they'll end up recommending that or not.
That's it for now. I know... you have many questions. I do too. Excited and nervous... and very grateful.
Kelly, Blythe came home on O2 and a monitor. At first I was disappointed, but now it gives me and my husband some relief. You and your family are in our prayers. We are so proud of Charli and her 3 bottles!!
