NICU Day 103 ~ (March 19th)

Tonight's post will be a short and sweet update as we are working on our taxes and starting the checklist of what must be completed before Noelle comes home.  She is continuing to do very well overall and weighed in at 1,310 grams / 2 lbs. 14 oz. tonight.  We are so very close to 3 lbs. and expect to make it there by the end of this week!!  The current plan is simply for her to grow; and hopefully by next week, she will be big enough to repeat the contrast x-ray test on her intestines so that we can move forward from there.  Again, our prayer is that this x-ray will be definitive so that no further unnecessary procedures will be performed to determine whether or not there is a problem.  Our other prayer is that she will have grown and matured enough to be past any intestinal issues that are common with preemies (and especially micro preemies).  We would also ask prayer for us as we are balancing everything we need to get done at home (before she comes home) alongside spending time with her and taking care of her at the hospital.  We are very ready to finally be at home with our little girl and look forward to the time when she can be with us every moment of the day and night.  Thank you so very much for your continued prayers.  We look forward to sharing how God continues to work tomorrow.

  1. Exceedingly, abundantly, more than I could ask or think..... this is how God answered my prayers for you. So I continue to pray that God would give you strength as you get ready to bring Noelle HOME! :)

  2. Praising Jesus with you! What an amazing testimony. Looking forward to the day you are bringing her home to your house.

    I recently lost a baby due to CHD. Even though he was never alive outside my womb, he moved mountains here on earth.
