Feeding Prayers

Well Emma is doing great medial wise as the doctors put it to us, but the little stinker needs to start eating more on her own.  Right now she is content with just taking a little bit by bottle and then letting the rest go through her tube.  Only problem with this is that we won't be taking the tube home with us.  So needless to say Emma needs to start taking a lot more by bottle/nursing before she can bust out of here.  There were talks this morning during rounds that Emma might transition to the rehabilitation center that they have here at UVA to work on her feedings.  This center would have an apartment thing nearby that Jason and I will be able to stay at while she is in rehab working away.  It is thought that they will talk more about her making the move towards the middle of the week.  So it doesn't look we will be leaving on Friday like Daddy and I had hoped.  We must remember that Emma is doing amazing and things could be a lot worse.  Continue with your prayers for Emma and her feedings.  We won't be able to upload videos for a bit because my Mom headed back to New York today(so I am having a bit of an emotional day).  Jason and I have our Infant CPR class at 4 today and then I think it is going to need to be a time for me to head back and take a nap.  Will try to update again today if things change we shall see how her feeding go for us at 2, 5, and 8 today.  Love and Hugs to all of you and thanks for your thoughts and prayers.  God Bless You All everything that everyone is doing for us near and far makes a HUGE difference in helping us through our time at UVA.
