More milk, less TPN

"Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.  For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.  Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." - Hebrews 4:14-16 

We sincerely praise God for another day of His undeserved grace on our family as Celia was able to go to the bathroom successfully again this morning!  Her milk intake is gradually being increased, and she is going to be weaned off of TPN (the intravenous nutrition) from here on out.  Please continue to be in prayer that her digestion is able to to handle the normal volume of milk that a healthy baby would be able to digest.  Julya and Alex were SO happy to hear this morning that the doctor who delivered Celia and placed her silo thinks she is doing awesome.  He has been cautious throughout the entire process because of how bad the condition of her intestines were initially.  Today was the first day he even mentioned them being able to go home [relatively] soon!

The support from everyone following Celia's healing is still incredible to experience, and we want to thank you all again for being there with us.  Your prayers, tears, gifts, and words, have not gone out in vain.  We love you all!!
