Wyatt has had a lot of ups and downs lately but with all of it he has still been eating really well. He has only had to use the feeding tube twice in two days. He is also off the oxygen and doing pretty well. His oxygen saturation goes down now and then but doesn't stay down for long.
The doctor has put him on a 12 hour trial to see if he can eat what he needs without the tube. I had to promise not to have a meltdown if he had to get the tube in again in the morning. I promised, feeling confident that God's timing is over all of this so if Wyatt is not ready to go it alone we'll just keep waiting and praying.
So far he has eaten twice and has taken just under 100mls. His minimum requirement is 150mls, so he is doing well and is close. He could take that much in one feeding. So we are hopeful and praying for him to be able to do this on his own. That is one of the biggest steps toward going home that we have left.
Please join us in praying for Wyatt to be strong enough to do what he needs to do to get home...in God's perfect time. We've been here a month today (3 and 1/2 months total) and sure would love to be home as a family. But have been learning to wait for the last three months so we are prepared to stick it out as long as we need to.
I'll let you know how the night goes.
Thanks for all your prayers. Our family sure feels them. Energy and joy that have no rational reason to be there :-)
Grace to you.
