Having a Good Morning

Alright Abby Addicts,

Things are definitely looking better. Last night, some friends of mine from church came over to say a prayer and give Abby a blessing. It was a fantastic blessing and it certainly worked. Abby slept through the night with the exception of a 3 AM gagging and retching episode. That lasted about an hour and then she fell asleep until around 7AM or so.
Right now she is not on any Morphine or Toradol AND she's napping! However, we have a lot to tackle in the next week. To go home, Abby needs to tolerate 50 cc's of formula an hour, and this is the plan to get her there:
Right now she is getting 10 cc's of pedialyte an hour through her G Tube. If she does well with that, we'll bump her up to 20 cc's of pedialyte for the following 2 hours. Assuming that's no problem, we will then give her 20 cc's of the Pepatmen Junior Formula. It's what we've been giving her at home and this ain't no "over the counter" kind of stuff people. It's the Mercedes Benz of formulas. By that I mean that it's hard to make and is especially for kiddos that have very sensitive stomachs and have bad reflux issues like Abby.
Anyway, as long as she does okay on the Peptamen for 24 hours, we'll slowly increase her dose from there. And by slowly, we're talking like 10 to 20 cc's a day. Not per hour...per day, which means we'll be at Camp CHOC til Friday or Saturday. And this is if everything goes as planned.

Thank you all for checking in. I know that all of the prayers and incredible support from you guys have been working. Abby has always taken her sweet time to get better, and yet, the difference between today and yesterday is unbelievable. I got crazy love over here for all the Abby Fans out there. If there was ever a story to testify to the power of faith and prayer, it's hers.She's is our little Miracle!

Speaking of miracles, for those of you that don't take the 55 South too much between Mcfadden and MacArthur, there's a billboard where CHOC has an add that reads, "Chances are, there's CHOC miracle in the car next to you." I love that sign. As I drove by it the other day, and tears welled up as I thought about Abby and the road she's been on(Okay fine. They didn't well up. They poured). I get this way everytime I reflect on those days, weeks, and months and especially when I think about the support we and Abby have had. I have absolutely no idea how we could be going through this journey without you guys.
And so continue the prayer requests. Pray that Abby's little tummy accepts the fluids today and especially the formula. Abby has never been a fan of following the rules, but let's hope this time she does.
