Please pray.

Griffin had a little set-back during the night. They had upped his tube feedings to 35 ml yesterday and were adding extra calories to his milk to help with weight gain. After his 5 p.m. feeding there was quite a bit of residual milk left in his tummy. (they check the contents of his tummy before each feeding to see if his body had absorbed what he had already been given.) After the 5 p.m. there was still 13 ml left. So at the next feeding, they reduced the amount of milk. After they checked that feeding, there was still 8 mls left. This indicated that something was wrong, but they were not sure what. They did an x-ray of his lower abdomen and it didn't show anything. However, the left over milk had a tinge of green color, which indicates something wasn't right. They are concerned it could be an infection. They checked his CBC and she said it did show his body is under some stress. They have started him on antibiotics. They have also given him an IV to receive these antibiotics and fluids, as they have suspended his feedings until 8 this morning.
At 8 they will do another x-ray to see if everything still looks ok. If it does, they will resume his tube feedings with breast milk alone. There is a chance he just wasn't tolerating what was added to my milk. Needless to say, we are concerned.
We are praying that it was just the mixture of the extra calories that has been added to his milk that was causing the feeding issues and not an infection. Please pray that it is not an infection, nor any blockage or major problems. And if it is infection, please pray that he responds to the antibiotics quickly and that they are able to stop it before it gets too serious and puts any stress on his body.
This was not what I expected when I called in at 2:30 a.m. this morning to check on him. We will be waiting for the results from the 8 a.m. x-ray to see how they will receive.
Please pray for our sweet boy.
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray that you put your healing hand over Griffin. We pray that you give the doctors and nurses wisdom to know what will best help Griffin heal. We pray that the tests and x-rays will reveal accurate results so that the doctors can know the best way to move forward. We pray that the antibiotics will help his body fight off any signs of infection. We pray that there isn't anything serious brewing in his little system and that he bounces back from this quickly and is able to resume his regular feeding schedule. Dear Lord we pray that he is kept comfortable and that the IV doesn't cause any complications. We lift up this sweet boy to you and pray for your healing. We know you have a plan for him and we are so grateful he is resting in your loving hands. I pray for peace for Mommy and Daddy, that we will continue to abide in your word and find comfort at your feet. In your sweet name we pray. Amen.
