More Miracles!!


Myra's surgery is scheduled for 5:30pm this evening. Please pray all goes well and she has a fast recovery. They are telling us Myra will be home in a week!!

We have other wonderful news to report too...Myra took 5cc from a bottle yesterday two different times!! I walked in around 7pm for my second visit of the day and a NICU doctor told me at her 6pm assessment she had the gag reflex they have been looking for and was sucking on a pacifier......so they tried 5cc in a bottle, and she took it! I gave her a bottle at 9pm and she took it
then, too. At 12am, 3am and 6am she was too tired to wake and try it (probably due to the seizure medications), but I know it's coming along and she'll be off the G-tube soon! What a great surprise of another miracle when we weren't expecting it! They will still be doing her surgery this evening to put in the G-tube and fix her severe reflux, mostly because she needs her reflux corrected before she goes home. If it was just the G-tube surgery, they said they would have no problem putting it off or not doing it, but with the reflux issues, they can't. So, we just plan to not use the G-tube very long...

I am seriously in awe of God's hand in all of this and am glad to share Myra's continuous story with all of you. Thank you so much for your prayers....He is hearing them and answering them daily! Our little miracle will soon be home and soon be whole...
