From Meg:
I do not have new pictures to add because they are with Jeremy, and it is way past my bedtime! However, we went in to see Kara as a family yesterday. We had 10 glorious minutes in our room before Kara was moved to a double occupancy room. We are working on thinking on what is true in this situation instead of mourning the loss of what "was". We are thankful that our roommate is a newborn (which means we can still use the potty and shower if we want). And we are thankful that even the "taste" of a single room was by God's design and will be used for his purposes.
Kara rested WELL in our arms yesterday and today. Apparently when we're not there she's quite a bit more fussy. Hooray! She loves Mommy and Daddy. She also loves clean diapers =) She is down to 5 mccg of morphine, but they will probably need to supplement with bolus (single doses) as needed since that's a drastic change from the 10. She is also all done with her "gatorade" (not really gatorade, but the supplemental nutrition in her IV that looked just like gatorade) which means all her calories will come from my milk + the extra calories they add to the milk. She will most likely need to have extra calories (i.e. powder formula) added to her milk for a long time due to her higher breathing rate.
We are rejoicing that we are all doing well. Continuing to ask God to transfer us to Evergreen (if that's His will), thanking God that Connor & Katie are doing well and for my parents who watch them, for the time He's given our family together and Jeremy & I on our own thanks to our gracious brothers & sisters in Christ who have been providing meals. That has been freeing up a lot of time, worry and stress. Thank you! We are also thankful for a gorgeous day today. Thank you, God!
