Prayers in Action

Everly made excellent progress yesterday and today we received the biggest piece of news yet.  The chromosome test that we've been waiting on for 7 days came back NORMAL!  This is a huge relief!  Matt and I both needed to hear some good news.  Our prayers are being answered.  Dr.'s are drawing additional labs today to rule out more specific chromosome disorders, but Matt and I both feel optimistic that Everly does not have any chromosome disorder.  Baby girl is also completely off of all iv's (including her glucose) and her lungs look nice and clear so she is being weaned off of her oxygen as well.  Everly does continue to get glucose testing every 6 hours, rather than every 3, just to make sure her levels are maintained where they should be.  Dr's will monitor her sugars for the duration of her stay.  The last hurdle is getting her to eat from breast or bottle without problems for 48 consecutive hours.  We are so pleased with Everly's progress and are grateful for all the prayers, love, and support that we have received on her behalf.  We have truly seen charity in action.
