Ellie no longer has an IV. She is an exclusively breastfed baby. Her IV sites had not been going well, and the doctors felt that a Pik IV would not be necessary since she would not need the IV much longer. So today the nurses and Doctor decided that they would increase her breast milk intake more rapidly, turn off the IV, and see how she tolerates the increased volume of milk. So we are happy about this progress.
She also may be getting an MRI of her brain and brain stem today or tomorrow. Pray that this goes well. She will be in there for 1 hour atleast. We are still concerned about her air way and hope that they pay special attention to that while she is in there.
Keep praying for healing and God's miraculous work in Ellie.
Resting in the arms of our faithful Lord Jesus Christ.
Adam and Emily
