good news

"O Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief." Psalm 143:1

So good news, the CBC and CRP came back normal! Coy was acting himself, moving all about, mad at his IV & CPAP prongs, crying at times. These are all good things: no indicators of infection...

He did have two bowel movements today after receiving a suppository; the doctor wanted to r/o infection prior to Coy having a suppository so it took all afternoon for him to get the medication.

The repogle tube was placed into his stomach through his mouth and is connected to low intermittent suction; this is to remove all the air in his belly; his abdominal girth did decrease slowly...

His lungs were being compressed or pushed up from his abdomen; this was making it hard for him to breathe; now that he is back on CPAP his oxygen requirement is back in the 20s; they will do another XRAY in the morning (Saturday) to make sure his lung expansion is back where it should be; please pray for this!

His feedings were held because his stomach was so distended and hard; he was started on IV fluids; please pray they can restart feeds tomorrow and his IV can be removed...

Please pray for Coy's complete and total healing; I have to say I was caught "off guard" today. I wasn't expecting any different from previous days; I think I usually have a "mom instinct" if something bad is about to happen, but I didn't feel it coming this time...

I am thankful that they don't feel there is an infection going on; I am thankful that Coy had two bowel movements; I am thankful he is acting himself

Please continue to pray for Coy's lungs, intestines, digestion, heart, eyes, and brain; I am so thankful to you all; your words and encouragement mean so much to me/us; I was struggling today but feel better tonight, thank you!...I know God is good, I know he is in control!
