Still Trying

Today Julianne was switched from 90 minute feedings to 85 minute feedings. It's amazing to me how big of a difference 5 minutes makes! She hasn't done that great with it, but then again she hasn't done too, too bad either. She threw up during all but one of them. She holds on until the very end. Then about 2 minutes before the feeding ends, she throws up. It is definitely less than she used to throw up and its not yellow. So, its really just milk...not stomach acid. I don't really know if that's anything to be happy about, but it makes me feel better.

We are really hoping for some progress this week. Its so tiring for her to gag, wretch and throw up so often. For us its hard to watch her suffer. But, like we've said before, we're thankful that this is her only issue at this point.

Thank you for your faithful prayers for Julianne. We're so anxious for everyone who's prayed for her for so long to meet her.

Spending all day in a hospital room with a digital camera yields A LOT of pictures. Here is a small sample of this weekend's photos:


Julianne checking out her Grandpa



Ever so persistently trying to grab her NG tube!



Much to her mommy's relief...something to grab other than the tube!



About 1 minute before throwing up



Something new to look at!

Oh, and by the way...GO RED SOX!

Thanks for the recent pictures of your precious little girl! Sounds like she's slowly making progress if she's only spitting up milk! We're still praying you can get back to your own home soon and also praising God for all the progress Julianne's made so far!
