Tucker is now 10 days old...this week he has started to get regular feedings (still through a tube). He started off at 1 mL every 6 hours and then after a few fussy days, he seemed to be feeling better and was hungry, they upped his feeding to every 3 hours. After a day of that he was upped again to 2 mL ever 3 hours and has been tolerating that well. This morning when we got to the hospital, they had upped him yet again and now he is getting 5 mL every 3 hours! This is great news that his tummy is handling food well. We are still taking one day at a time, but for 2 days the doctor has had no new news to report! He's just slowly moving forward.
Today, while visiting our little guy, I was able to talk to the nurse for a while. She asked how we were doing and told us she had never met a family like us that is dealing with a very premature baby and still so happy. I was able to witness to her a little bit and tell her that without our Lord, we wouldn't be getting through this! He is the reason for this baby, for our peace and happiness and this whole situation. He deserves all the glory! She was very intrigued and seemed to be in agreement. As I get to know her more, I hope to find out if she is a believer, but for now I sit in awe of how the Lord is using this situation already!
