Update #2 – 1/1/2007

Hannah has been doing so well taking a bottle that they have removed her feeding tube!  The only thing she still has is one IV port for the Milrinone, which they will be weaning her off of tomorrow.  All of her other medications are being given orally.  She looks so much better!  We can’t wait to see what the cardiologist has to say about her condition tomorrow.  We feel like she has come SO far in one week!  We are completely in awe — it is so obvious that God has His hand on our little girl!  What an awesome, faithful God we serve!

We’ve added another photo album with pictures of Hannah in the hospital.  See for yourself how much better she looks now!  God’s perfect plan is steadily coming to pass in His perfect timing.  We are so blessed!  Praise God!

Update – 1/1/2007

Hannah celebrated New Years by pulling out her feeding tube last night!  Not a big deal, they put it right back in.  When we got to her room this morning, we were surprised to see that she won an award!  She had a certificate AND a medal proudly hanging on the side of her crib.  It was the “Champion Nippler Award”, because she finally ate a full meal from a bottle!  Praise God!  She has taken bottles every 3 hours today.  They are now trying to give some of her medications orally, and once that happens they may remove the feeding tube altogether!  They also reduced her breathing treatments to every 12 hours.  Hannah has been in such a good mood today.  She has been resting well and is content when she’s awake.  We’ve brought lots of toys in her room to entertain her.  She has enjoyed watching four episodes of the Backyardigans on DVD today.

Please continue to pray for the ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning.  We pray that the doctors would be amazed at how much her heart function has improved!
