To God be the GLORY!

...A continuation of Reagan's update!

After Reagan was taken off of ECMO AND the ventialtor all in the same week, she was then moved to a crib! and then a few days later was moved to 3NW NICU! The 3NW is a step down from the NICU on the 6th floor where we had spent the 1st month in! and with her moving to 3NW it meant she was even closer to coming home! Well...it has now been a month since then and exactly 2 months tomorrow that she has been in Birmingham! She has recently been moved to Special Care, which is even closer to coming home, but just not quite there yet! The only thing we are waiting on is for her to eat through a bottle well enough to go home without a feeding tube. This seems like the most frustrating part, because it seems soo trivial. But because she had been fed intraveniously up until she was moved to 3NW, shes got to get a grasp on the whole 'suck, breathe, and swallow' technique. Chad and I went up there this weekend and she finally took 2 oz! She is supposed to take 3! and she took 2 the other 2 times I fed her! and she also took 2 this morning with OT! I am soo proud of her progress this far and looking to coming home with her VERY soon! ... Keep on praying! We have been so blessed and may God come out in the end with ALL the glory!! He is GOOD...and HE is the GREAT physician! :o) I will post some pictures later....I dont have any new ones on thsi computer, for I am at work.

love in CHRIST! ::RH
