A Good Report

"To look within is to be discouraged. To look above at Him is to be encouraged."

This is definetly something I am finding to be true throughout this experience. As soon as I try to figure things out myself and plan out how I think things should go, I get stressed and discouraged. But if I just give it to Him, my mind is at peace and I am encouraged.

Today was an enouraging day. After days of weight loss and "pooping too much" (For the record I am referring to Caden and not myself. However, I would welcome the weight loss.) Cade has started to turn the corner. This morning I got a good report that he had gained a little weight and that his output had gone down significantly. This is most likely attributed to the doctor making a few adjustments on his feeding schedule, adding a fortifier to the milk to add calories, and taking medicine to reduce stomach acid. We have high hopes that he will continue to show progress! Maybe if we're really lucky he'll make it home just in time for Thanksgiving. Okay, the doctor didn't say that, but it's wishful thinking.
