Lets just say Natalie's motor skills are improving daily. She has managed to pull her feeding tube out twice. I had to learn to insert the feeding tube before I left the hospital, but I honestly was hoping to never have to do it again. Now I have done it twice and am hoping to not have to do it again. I think I taped it down pretty good this time, so we will see what happens.
Natalie is taking her bottle a little bit better, so that is good news. We still have a ways to go, but better is good. She is not really gaining weight, but not losing it either. She has not thrown up her feeding since Monday night, so I am hoping we are on good path now. We have a check up next Friday with Dr. Zeller's.
Carter had a small fight with the playground on Thursday and the playground won, so he now has a busted chin. The Fire Department came to Carter's school on Thursday and he had a blast.

He has been a great Big Brother, very concerned about his Baby Natalie. He lets us know when she cries that we need to put her pacificer back in.
Natalie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Holly North. My husband and I are in Christy and Jason's bible study. She has kept us informed and we have ALL fallen in love with Natalie. She has been and continues to be so concerned for her. What a great aunt!! I wanted to let you know that we have walked in your shoes back in 2001. Our son, Joshua was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He had an NG tube, heart surgeries and the whole nine yards. Believe me when I tell you, I am praying for you ALL. God is amazing in that he gives us what we need just at the time we need it. His grace and mercy are unexplainable. And, the strength he gives us is mindboggling. We will continue to pray for Natalie and for your precious family. Please let us know if there is anything specific we can pray for. I have learned that just because things might be looking up that doesn't give us an excuse to stop praying. But, we are thrilled for her progress thus far. And, pray for more good reports. Hold her tight and cherish every second. I know you are.
Holly North
