For I know the plans I have for you, "declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Just left our sweet boy and he is doing well. Praise the Lord! They started his feedings back this evening and he had no residual left from the first feeding, so that is a huge praise. He is getting only a small amount of breastmilk and they will watch him closely and the increases will be small. His bloodwork from this morning looked good and it appears the infection is gone. Antiobiotics will continue until Saturday. He also managed to gain weight, even while his feedings were stopped. He now weighs 4.36 oz. Big guy!
We are encouraged by this progress and so grateful for good news.
Our prayer is that he will continue to tolerate and process these feedings and that his lil body will respond well. That he will handle these last few doses of antibiotics well and that his body will remain infection free after they cease. We are praying that we are over this bump (which has felt like a mountain.) Please pray for Grant as well. Having Mommy gone so much has been really hard for him. We are so, so blessed that Aunt Jane is here providing much needed stability.
Thank you all so much for the prayers, calls and wonderful meals. We are so blessed to have such loving friends and family. God is using y'all to hold us together. We are so humbled and rest in awe of His provisions.
Please continue to pray for our sweet Griffin Samuel.
We love you sweet friends.

Love,
Stefanie
