"Come what may to the dearest ones we have on earth, God and HIS upholding grace WILL BE THERE, and HE cares for them more than even we can do !" from my favorite devotional this week Daily Strength For Daily Needs .
Hello Dear hearts!
This is very similar to the last update and yet I thought you would
appreciate "hearing" Sarah's "voice" .
Your prayers continue to carry us all through
Eleonora's challenges.
May GOD'S perfect will be done
in all our lives especially this precious little one!!!
Here is Sarah's email:
The Lord has been with us over these past 11 weeks
since our daughter's premature birth; so many
answers to prayer and He will continue be
with us in the days to come
- for HE is faithful and never changes.
Eleonora now weighs 3lb 12oz and is 15 inches long!
Yesterday she had her 5th eye exam and her eyes are
getting better!
(There is a condition in preemies that is
monitored closely to make sure the retina
doesn't detach).
We do have some new prayer requests if you
would be willing to email to others:
Yesterday we found out that Eleonora's left
vocal cord is paralyzed
(it has been 4 weeks since she came off the
ventilator and still no sound
is heard when she is visibly crying or trying
to make noise). We do not know
at this point when or if this will get better.
Her Doctor still needs to talk
with the Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist
who daignosed this on Monday.
So our little girl is very, very, quiet.
We also ask for prayer regarding learning
to eat by mouth as there are new
unknowns in this area as well. Right
now she is off all nipple feeds
(learning to suck, swallow and breath
by bottle and/or breastfeeding).
She gets her 32 cc's of breastmilk by
gavage every three hours
(a small tube down her nose into her stomach).
Please pray that she can begin learning to eat
again by mouth
(she needs to be able to take all of her feeds
by mouth to come home).
As for her breathing she is doing wonderfully!
Only on "going-home"
settings of Oxygen.
Please pray for wisdom for the Doctors
and gentleness from the Nurses
as they make decisions and care for Eleonora.
In Christ,
Sarah
