Kate went to the doctor yesterday and had lost another 3 ounces. I was VERY discouraged. The doctor has had us feeding her every 2 hours. Mom and Dad took 2 of the feedings last night so I was able to get at least a little sleep. They were able to give her an expressed breast milk bottle. Kate did really well last night. She hasn't eaten as well today, but she is eating...which is somewhat of an improvement from the last few days. We go back to the doctor this afternoon for another weight check. If she hasn't gained any weight, then I'm pretty sure the doctor said we would think about some testing. So please pray with us that she has gained at least an ounce!!
Some friends brought us dinner last night and prayed with us. Thank you for that!! I'm not sure you will ever know how much that means to us right now! We know people are praying, but it really meant a lot for you to actually physically pray with us last night.

I've been reading your blog for some time now, found you randomly during a search a while back. Just wanted to say that I'll be praying for your little girl and know that the Lord will keep His hands around her and will protect her and keep her strong. I will also pray that the Lord will strengthen your faith and allow a calmness to come over you so that you will be able to heal and regain your strength.
In His name,
A blogger
Blog Surfer ~ Thank you so much for your prayers. I trust our God is a faithful God. I know that everything we're going through is for His glory and our GOOD! I also know there are so many other parents out there who's situation is much worse!! I've been very encouraged today. Emma (our 2 year old) has had a MUCH better day today. I think I was more discouraged by what all this means for her than I was worried about Kate. It must be so hard for Emma to understand why Mommy is holding and feeding the baby all day and not spending time with her. It truly breaks my heart!! Someone said yesterday, maybe my dad, that it's only for a short time. But that short time still hurts my little girl's heart and that's hard!! But I also know that God is faithful even in her life and will sustain her also through this difficult time. Thank you again for your prayers!!
I'm a mother of two girls myself, they are 18 months apart. The oldest is 4, the youngest is about to turn 3. They are the best of friends and the closest sisters we could have ever hoped for. They love each other immensely. I'm sure Emma will soon understand that this is not something new to take Mommy away from her, but something new for her to love and play with and enjoy. It sounds as if you have more than plenty of love for both of them and Emma will probably surprise you with the amount of love she will start to show towards her new little sister. You are blessed!
what's the update, sister?? praying!!!
