Bless you, Dear Kitty..and Amen.
Sample from the parent's journal..
Thursday.
"Brooks's PDA has closed thanks to the indomethacin!.
There is the possibility it could open back up but for.
now, it's closed and we celebrate that..
.
They have started his feedings again (back to 1 cc every 6 hours) and he seems to be tolerating them..
We are still on hold with a central line whether that's .
another try at a PICC line or the Broviac but he has one .
PIV in each little hand right now and that's okay for now. .
He's getting another blood transfusion today.".
.
Friday.
"Yesterday turned out to be a big day for Brooks..
Yesterday afternoon when we visited, Dr. Burgess told us .
they had tried one more time for a PICC line with.
no luck. He then said he was able to arrange to have a .
doctor come over from Children's to do the central venous .
catheter. This was a world of relief for us. To not have to .
transport Brooks to and from Children's and have the.
procedure done bedside gave us some comfort..
.
Although this is consider a minor surgical procedure, to.
us, there was definitely nothing minor about it. But, he.
now has the central line in and all went very well. They.
decided to go in through his leg instead of his neck but all went well. God is great! The blood transfusion was a .
success and when we visited last night, our little angel.
was doing great. They still have an IV in his hand and may.
keep it there for a little bit. The nurse commented that .
nothing had really slowed Brooks down and that he was "spunky." Love it. That's our little boy!.
.
O Lord, our Lord.
how majestic is your .
name in all the earth!.
You have set your .
glory above the heavens..
Psalm 8:1.
.
Today we pray for continued strength for Brooks. We pray .
that his feedings persist so that he can begin to.
grow and get stronger. We pray for no infections due to
the central line or IVs. ".

Amen to Kami's prayer ..May the Lord continue to comfort and strengthen Kami and Glenn and strengthen tiny baby Brooks.
