Caroline is still liking her new digs. She was de-statting (low oxygen saturation) some so her doctors have her on a nasal cannula while she eats. Speaking of eating... she is moving along. She is showing more interest in nursing, but she does not show that much interest in bottle feeding. She has been asleep both times Occupational Therapy has worked with her to bottle feed. They are still feeding her with a feeding tube and any additional food she gets from nursing or a bottle is just bonus. I do not have her official weight but she is a few ounces over 5 pounds!
Our church, Grace Bible Church, has recently provided us with some amazing meals. I am starting to think you have to be able to cook in order to attend Grace. In all seriousness, THANK YOU!!
Finally, I need to give a shout out to Ryan! He is on fire tonight. I came home from feeding Caroline and Ryan had already stored all the milk from the night before and washed the bottles. He unloaded the dishwasher, cleaned the kitchen and was starting to heat up dinner.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
yep...she's a Cooper....takes eating(her feedings) seriously which uses up alot of oxygen!!! ....TCH 's answer to the once popular oxygen bars I guess. Whatever work Miss Caroline.You and mom keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteRyan, I think Mr. Mom for this year is a while away so keep up the good work and i'll vote for you!!
Nothing like a clean kitchen to go with all those home cooked meals. I find I need something I can do something about (like weeding) when in the middle of stressful situations.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to have a church to support you? Caroline is benefiting from all the TLC of her parents, too. Thank you, Grace Bible Church!
Wow! A well-oiled machine!! You two are doing an amazing job.
ReplyDeletegreat sounding report! "friends who cook" are an enormous blessing! :-) and a husband who helps in the kitchen is a shoo-in for a "hall of fame" somewhere! katie--you are doing a tremendous work, too!!! 5 stars for all!!!
