1 week update

Last night our little angel showed some improvement in her blood sugar levels, with every other reading being in the mid-70's.  The NICU staff lowered her glucose drip to 8ML/hr and we are hoping that she will be able to continue to show improvements.  We just checked in with the NICU staff, and they said her most recent reading was a 40, which would normally require the staff to increase the glucose drip.  The staff has decided that they want to challenge her system, and are going to leave the glucose drip at 8 for now.  Please pray that she will be able to withstand the challenge that they are giving to her, and that her blood sugar levels will improve at her next feeding (2pm).  We are still optomistic that she is making progress and are trusting God that she will be able to be home with us soon. 

It is crazy to think that Maddy is already one week old.  She has already provided so much joy to our family and we are thankful for each and every moment that we are able to spend with her. 

Thank you all again for checking in on our family.
