A small setback..

Rachel has developed an infection in her small intestines. Her picc line was put back in and antibiotics were given immediately. I'm grateful that they're watching her under a microscope to catch everything.

She's off of milk for a few days until they can get this cleared up. We're praying that she maintains her weight and her strength.


The day after Christmas--Rachel is responding to the antibiotics and is doing lots better. Still off of milk for a few more days, but she's feisty as ever..which we're thankful! The little stinker pulled off her air line and climbed out of her diaper!

She's at 2lbs. 14 ounces...so we're maintaining the weight.

My little grandson liked to pull his lines out too.

Ohhhh Merry Christmas Itty Bitty!

Sorry to hear she's a bit under the weather but it is good to know that the meds are working for her... she's getting very close to 3 lbs.

She remains in my prayers - thanks for keeping us posted on her progress.
