We have a lot to be thankful for today!! After much crying last night, the nurse pleaded that Josh could have something to satisfy his hunger. They allowed him to have pedialyte and he finished each feed in record time. They allowed him to go to full feeds and he has had almost every feed without even stopping to catch up on breaths, which is not normal for him. I just fed him 3 oz and he acted like he was still hungry. I think he's trying to stock up! Full feeds are definitely something to be thankful for! He also moved out of the PICU to the regular floor. It's like a regular adult hospital room. Something else to be thankful for. Because he's not in PICU anymore, we don't get the Ronald McDonald House, therefore we all get to spend the night together in Joshua's room:)
They are supposed to run a swallow test on him some time tomorrow. My hope is that they will do it in the morning. Everything will come back alright and then we can go home in the afternoon. They haven't really said if that is a possibility but there is really nothing else keeping us here. So, y'all are welcome to pray the same:)
Specifics to pray for:
That if there is something they are supposed to find with Joshua, let them find it so that we don't end up back here.
If he's here just because of prematurity, that his lungs have grown and strengthened enough that he won't have apnea.
He won't aspirate when eating, refluxing or throwing up!
For peace for the finances. It's nothing to God, and we just need constant peace that He's got it and we don't need to try and help him figure it out.
For blessing and wisdom for the staff working with our little man.
We can be a light for Christ in every situation.
