Hi.

I'm so glad you found your way to my little corner of the neighborhood! Pull up a chair and stay, and let's chat about life on the margins and loving Jesus and, obviously, where to find the best cheese dip and most life-changing books. 

Bottles and More

Sometimes I can write nice sentences and put words together coherently. But not so much today, apparently. I blame the sleep deprivation.

I did, however, want to update y'all on Caden and life for us right now. And share some pictures. Because y'all know I love me some pictures of my babies.
Last time I updated on prayer requests, one of my big ones was that Caden would learn how to drink out of a bottle. And I have to thank you for being so faithful in your prayers, because he is making great progress in that area. At the beginning of each feeding "cycle" we start out by offering him his bottle. He is supposed to drink 60ml of fortified breast milk (over one hour when it's through the feeding tube). He has now been taking 30-40 of those 60ml by bottle before getting worn out. And a few times over the past few days, he has taken the entire bottle, meaning we dont have to feed him through the tube at all. Of course, when he does take the whole bottle it takes him an hour and a half, meaning it doesn't save us any time or buy us any sleep. . . That said, we are so so grateful he is moving in the right direction and we are hopeful he can get his feeding tube out soon!!
Jayci is still a hot mess. She's actually really sweet to her brother, she's just almost three and throws fits accordingly. We are excited that she goes back to school tomorrow, hoping it will offer her a sense of normalcy, and give us a chance to rest a little more too.
 
Caden has his first appointment with his cardiologist on Thursday and then another appointment with his pediatrician on Friday. We will update y'all on what we learn. We are praying that everything looks perfect!

Miraculous Indeed
