Blessing Update

Blessing has been at the hospital for 9 days now. She's at the NICU so she can be fed through a NG tube. She's starting to put on a little bit of weight. She's up to about 6lbs 6oz. We have a couple special Cleft Palate bottle nipples coming in tonight with a visitor and hope that she'll be able to suck from them. If not we'll either syringe feed her or the hospital said they'll show us how to insert the NG tube and feed her with the tube. Either way the doctor said she should be able to leave the hospital by mid-week.

Here are a couple pictures from the ICU today.

Dr. Maria-
It's good to hear from you. We'll always be grateful to you and Benson for the care she got the first 10 days that we had her. I hope you're doing well and the Kpatawee waterfalls are amazing if you have a chance to go!
