Rebecca has been 
growing well and is now just under 
5lbs. !!!!! Yes, you read that right!!! Lol. She’s 2220 grams as of last night…I’m excited to see what she’s up to tonight. When we pick her up now, it finally feels like there’s actually a baby in the blanket. I used to feel like she was practically going to float up into the air when I’d pick her up.
The docs are trying out different feeding routines/supplements and so forth to try to get her more ready to come home. They’ve been letting her take as much as she wants out of the bottle, but she doesn’t take as much as she needs (she needs an unusually high volume of food for her size), so she’s still on the NG tube for part of her feeds.
For a while there I’d thought we were almost ready to head home, and then a problem came up with her feeds, and we were set back again. That was hard. But things are looking hopeful again.
Thank you to all for your help and for your prayers. We really appreciate hearing those who tell us that we are in their prayers. I truly believe that it has made a difference for Rebecca. I am so grateful that we can care for each other and petition the Lord for each other. It must please him that we care about each other so much. I know that Rick, Mike and I are grateful.
Love, Jane
