This afternoon Lilly's NG tube got a clog. I tried to loosen it by squirting a syringe full of water through it. But to not avail. The water just shot back at me. So that meant taking back out the NG tube I had wrestled with getting in yesterday. Sigh. Thank God that today the tube inserted very easily and Lilly only cried a little. I couldn't pull anything out of her stomach today and therefore couldn't do the pH test. But I wasn't too worried as that frequently happened at the hospital. I did the air puff with stethoscope test and that was fine. Whew!
For "family night" tonight we watched a couple episodes of "The Duggars: Eighteen and Counting." (A show documenting a family with 18 children, though they now have 19.) This is the first time my family has watched any and we really enjoyed them. At the hospital, I had read aloud the Duggars' book to my husband and Lilly and we found it fascinating. As I watched their beautiful family, and looked at my own children, I couldn't help but think of Psalm 127:3:
"Behold, children are a heritage of from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward."

ReplyDeletelet's celebrate with a tea party when she reaches that milestone.
Way to go Lilly! You're growing like a weed now! It will be wonderful when you are able to feed without the pump, but praise God that someone invented this handy tool. We like the Duggars too. They are a good, wholesome family with great values. Hope the cold is better today.
