NG Tube

Caroline is sleeping soundly. We have had a feeding tube through her nose since Fri afternoon from about 4pm. In the last 24 hours she has consumed 14.5 ounces and has already gained weight with the tube. She weighs 6.11oz - yeah!!!!! She has times where her oxygen levels drop - and the nurses are closley monitoring this. She definitely breathes better on her tummy.Cam leaves today for 7 days and we are playing it all by ear with people coming and going and keeping Carley. My mom should be coming soon.We are going to be here probably another week so it seems. It is better to be here to be weighed and monitored while we have people to help us.
They have told us we will go home with a sleeping monitor. We will NOT go home with this ng tube. I am speculating we are to gain weight, assess, and end up with a g-tube in the belly. This is all my best guess - because the news changes around here daily. Thank you for phone calls and for continued prayer.

I know dealing with so many doctors and opinions can be frustrating. We are still praying for you all. God is the Great Physician and the ultimate healer. He will keep Caroline safe in His arms! Much Love! ~Noelle
