Savannah came back from the swallow study yesterday acting as though it didn't phase her one bit-skipped right on into her session with the occupational therapist.  The OT believed she was doing well and was showing progress since last week.  I can tell you the OT was an angel-said things that I needed to hear just at the right time.

Got the call with the results from the study today-she will need surgery to have a g tube placed after all.  During the study she showed that she had nasopharyngeal reflux and was a silent aspirator.  Of course I didn't want to add any more surgeries to her list, but this could mean she could come home after the surgery.  I pray for God to watch over her through the surgery and to recover well from it.  The surgical team will be doing tests on her bowels, etc. to make sure she is prepared for the surgery.

Please help me pray for one of the NICU babies and his or her family.  They received news that their baby was born with trisonomy 18-the nurses placed rainbows around his crib-their rainbow baby.  God bless them and may He comfort them in the days ahead.

I saw a post on Facebook today-stated "I'm sorry I couldn't save you".  There couldn't be any truer words-the lives of our children are in God's hands, but what we wouldn't do to save them from death, sickness, pain and the list goes on.
