Slowly Improving But Still Ways To Go

Savannah is starting to show some improvements. Her pneumonia is clearing up. She is hardly coughing at all now and when she does it is dry rather than the crackly kind she was doing. She is tolerating the feeds well and is currently at 35 ml hour. Earlier all she could get to was 15. Please pray that when they offer her food she will have the desire to eat and eventually begin to eat like she used to. I am hoping that now that she is on this new medicine to help her stomach contract and move things out like it should that it she will be hungry and want to eat. It would be wonderful and a lot less stressful if she would eat willingly. They talked about maybe having to put in tube in stomach for extra nutrition even if she eat but maybe by the Grace of God she will eat enough to not need that. It is entirely possible that her stomach not emptying was the whole issue and that the medicine would help that. I would also like you to pray for my friend Kara's brother Brian who in mid December was in a car wreck and injured his spine and had some complications from that. He was just released to rehab so please pray that he continues to improve and be able to handle all that he will have to go through on his journey to improvement. Please also pray that Savannah will get some strength back on her legs. They are still weak like jello. She protests walking even short distances. I guess it was the sitting and laying when she really did not feel well. She did pedal the bike 1 lap last night so that helped some. She also tried to trick the nurse- one she had not seen before- into giving her chocolate ice cream - did not work though thanks to me.
