And the Million Dollar Question Is....




When do we get to go home? Faith is doing great. The nurses took out her nasal feeding tube on Saturday and she has been nursing ever since. The Dr's want to be sure she consistently gains weight while nursing before they send us home. Saturday night she gained 5 grams, tonight she gained another 10 grams (30 grams to an ounce), sounds pretty consistent to us, but I think the doctors want to see a gain of more than 10 grams. God has been good. Lots of prayers have been answered, and we have been blesses with some awesome nurses. They tell us she is on the fast track to go home and can't believe she only been here a month. ONLY a Month!! Do they know how long a month away from home is?!!

Hey girl. I am praising the Lord with you. We just got back from being gone since Ap 29 and I didn't get on my email but 2X so I am playing catch up. SOOOOO thankful with you and I have to say that you are a light and a joy to all you are sharing with. Thank you for taking time to let us walk with you through this in prayer. Can't wait to meet the little blessing. Blessings, Sarah Sproles

Hi Tina! Talked to your mom a bit at the Grant and Anne's program. (I'll send you copies of the pictures I took of Grant)So happy to hear that Faith is doing so well. Can't wait to meet her. I miss seeing you at school and can't wait to hear of the news that you and Faith will be home soon! Take care! You are all in my thoughts and prayers daily! Anne has been praying lots for Grant's baby sister Faith too!Sounds like you are in the home stretch! Stay strong and we will see you sooner rather than later!
