Praise and prayer

Praise - Reagan is doing really well! The only tubes and wires that are still hooked up are her IV with antibiotics (no more nutrition through this!) and her heart monitor, which all babies in the NICU have until they're discharged. She's eating extremely well - I gave her a bottle tonight, and she was only allowed to have 30 ml, but she would have taken more if she was allowed! From now on, she can eat as much as she wants. She's still a little jaundice, and they'll be doing some more lab work overnight. But overall, our little girl is doing great!

Prayer - My blood pressure has been quite high again tonight. I'm still on meds for it, so hopefully that will help. It had leveled off but for some reason has been going higher. I'm supposed to be discharged tomorrow, but I guess if my blood pressure doesn't come down, they may keep me in longer. We'll see how things go and be sure to post that on here.

P.S. Sorry there aren't anymore pictures right now - I didn't remember to bring the charger for the camera, and the battery died today!

Heidi, she's just beautiful! Clearly, a very special, precious little girl! I will definitely be praying for ya'all --- when I read about how you may go home before she does, my heart broke for you. I can't imagine how difficult that would be. There was a possiblity of Madeline having to stay behind when I was discharged and I just wept and wept after the doctor left the room. I love you girl!!!

Heidi,
I am still praying for you and Reagan. We had the Bible verse Isaiah 40:28-31 in Chapel today and I thought of your family. I am claiming this verse for ya'll. I am glad to hear she is doing so well. I will definitely pray for that blood pressure.

Much Love,
Tara
