Good day

Thank you for your continued prayers! Hazel had a really good day yesterday. We're praying that it's the first of many to come. She's still not quite her old self again, but she was less lethargic and ate more than she has in a few days. Thank God! We're also praying that the right specialists see her this week and help us figure out how to help her. Until then (and after then), we're praying for a miracle of complete healing for her little body.

Jude is rockin' and rollin' these days. He is an eating machine and doesn't appear to have reflux anymore. We don't even have to hold him after he eats! It's amazing! He was at the GI this past week, and although his growth velocity is fantastic, he's still very slender (3rd % height/weight ratio) so the GI said we should up his calories. In the past, Jude has always thrown up on higher calorie "diets", but he seems to love his new plan. He has been finishing his bottles in record time, burping like a champ, and then playing or sleeping right away rather than groaning in pain and fighting to keep his food down. It truly is a miracle. We also have transitioned him to ALL breast milk (mixed with rice cereal and formula for calories). He has never tolerated all breast milk, but now he seems to love it! Our freezer is no longer backing up out of control. Thank you, Jude!
