Another good day for Molly! Her scores continue to stay low and she weaned down to a lower dose of morphine. Apparently she pulled out her feeding tube in the middle of the night, so it's gone now! She's eating from the bottle like a champ.
It's a little challenging to spend as much time with Molly as we can while still meeting Tommy's needs, but we are making the most of our situation. Having a big room and access to all the Peds toys and movies definitely helps. :)
We are so grateful for all the love, support and prayers we have received. We have also been touched by the kindness of strangers. The first night we were in NICU we got a gift bag that all families receive when their baby is there. It was full of hats, socks, booties, picture frame, toiletries, etc. These gifts are put together by a woman who had a child in the NICU that did not survive. She calls this ministry "Project Sweet Pea." We were so touched!
Then today we received two hand-made quilts (one for Tommy and one for Molly.) They are made by women from a local church for the kids and babies in the hospital. What a nice gift!




Yay for Molly doing so great! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the kindness you have received! Such great people doing the neatest things. :)
So very happy to hear that Molly is doing better! Continued prayers for her!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my goodness, I got tears in my eyes reading about the beautiful acts of kindness! How sweet and what a blessing during a time that's definitely not the easiest!
So sweet! Glad she is improving!
ReplyDeleteThose quilts a very lovely eh! The kindness of strangers is so heartwarming.....
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Molly is doing well. That's wonderful all the great things that people have helped out with, especially that Tommy got a blanket too.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful ministries! SO glad to hear Molly is doing well. And to see your radiant smile with her :) (Tiny tears glistening here!) The room looks huge! Will add some prayers for Tommy, what a good sport - I'm sure you guys are handling it very well. Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteWow. Congratulations and so thrilled for your happy news. I will offer Memoraries for you as you continue this journey. How cool about all the connections (same hospital as Mrs Mike & your family). Also, having had a withdrawl baby...let me know if you have any questions. Catie was in NICU for much longer and probably had a more intensive withdrawl process and a had her feeding tube for a year. All that said, it sounds like Molly will be just fine! And Mary Margaret is my grandnmother (and great grandmother's) names. God Bless you! Hugs and love to your sweet family.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice! Glad she's continuing to do well.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Molly!! :) What amazingly sweet and thoughtful gifts! Continuing to pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteWoooo, go Molly!
ReplyDeleteI love project sweetpea volunteers, they do so much for our NICU families too.
