Well, it's been a hard day and it's only 4:30. I still don't have the outcome of my biopsy. I've talked with the surgeons nurse and the results aren't even available yet. She said she would have the dr. call to see if he can rush the results but that if more testing was necessary then it could take a few more days.
Sadie is taking a small bottle (1/2 gentlease formula and 1/2 breast milk) about every 2 hours and she's keeping it down although she has been really fussy. We burp her throughout her feeding and that seems to help a bit but it's still hard to see her in pain.
Bekah has been telling us for a few days now when she is going pee-pee...we thought she's finally realizing she doesn't like having a wet diaper and she wants to be changed. Well today she started screaming in pain and grabbing her diaper when she is going pee. I called her pediatrician but they were all booked and told me to take her to her ER. I then started crying and my mom had to finish up the conversation with the nurse. We asked for the dr. to call us, pleading for him to just call in a prescription for her since we were fairly sure it was a bladder infection. Plus, the thought of spending more time in the ER was awful. A few hours later Keith called again to talk with the dr. and found out he had called in some antibiotics for Bekah! Yay for caring dr's! I hope Bekah will be feeling better soon - it's hard to handle both girls crying from pain...it makes me want to join right in!
You may be wondering about the title of this blog. Well, after all this happened we all went outside for some fresh air and met a new mom named Nicole near the sandbox and we started sharing what was going on in our life and day. She asked if we went to church and if she could pray for me. We all started crying and as Bekah played in the sand and Sadie slept on my mom's shoulder, Nicole prayed for me and the family. God is so good to send a neighbor out just when you need a little extra encouragement and prayer!

Oh Cara. My heart breaks for you guys. Man, one thing after another. I know God is in control...but it's still all just so crazy.
That's so great that the doctor called in the prescription. yay!
And yay for random neighbors that the Lord sends your way...probably when you needed it the most. Love you!!!
God is so amazing! These difficult times are temporary and will be used to His glory. What a blessing for Him to send you encouragement AND a prayer warrior!
God is so good. Thinking of you.
You are beautiful. It is amazing how God puts us in these perfect settings. I echo Lisa!
Please take in consideration using mylecon (target has a generic) this is for the gas associated with the eating. Use the mylecon before every feeding. up to 12 times a day. Our pediatrician said if you use after the feeding they tend to spit it up. Also, consider zantac for children its called ranitidine. This really helps if she has reflux. Testing for reflux is such an invasive procedure that they usually just prescribe the zantac. Having her head slightly elevated also helps with the reflux right after she eats.
wow! we're praying like crazy!
I absolutely agree with the Mylicon suggestion. We'll call you guys tonight when we can both chat with you. we're missing you and praying for you... Hugs.
