Since its such a beautiful day today, we decided that Lance should take the day to spend some father/son time with Grayson and make sure he's getting all the attention he needs. It was supposed to be a slow weekend day at the hospital and we thought Seren would just hang out until Monday so I just went to the hospital for a little mother/daughter bonding. When I got to the hospital the nurse told me that they had done Seren's MRI this morning. This procedure meant two things, one, Seren was groggy from the sedative and two, the biggest news yet on Seren's prognosis is available. I didn't want to get the news without Lance so I asked them not to tell me. We want to be told in person so we are heading to the hospital tommorow to talk with the head neonatologist. We are praying that the results will be positive and the Lance and I will be able to handle the news well.
Seren is still not eating very much. They try to feed her a teaspoon of formula at each feeding and she is only taking about half that much. A team of feeding specialists (who knew that even existed?) will be in next week to determine goals for her eating and whether or not she needs to be tube fed long term or not.
Thats about it for today. Thank you to our church, The Church of the Good Shepherd, for putting Seren on their prayer list and also to everyone who has put us on your church's prayer lists. It means the world to us. The help and support of our wonderful family and friends is helping us get through each day.

Jennifer and Lance,
ReplyDeleteTodd and I have been praying fervently and will continue to pray for Seren and for you. Please know that if there is anything at all we can do, just ask. We know what it is like to have the brightest day in your life turn dark and cloudy in a split second. You are not alone in this journey and each day you will get stronger and so will Seren. From someone, who has been there...navigate these waters yourself and don't take to heart every medical opinion. No one but God truly knows all the answers.
Love from all,
Jessica
Seren is in my daily prayers. I hope with all of my heart that you get some encouraging news from the Drs. I know they will give her the best care. You are already a wonderful Mommy and your strength will get her through this tough time. Remember SHE IS A FIGHTER!!!
