Marcus update #5

Just a quick update tonight. Marcus is bouncing back quickly from whatever made him sick on Tuesday. Chris and I went to see him yesterday and he looked pretty good. Today they started feeding him again. They are trying something different with him feeding now. They are giving him breast milk pretty constantly and slowly. They are giving him 3 mls every hour. It seems to be going fine so far.

He will need to work back up to full feedings and be off of the IV suppliment again before they think about letting him come home.

His platelet count is improving again. That also needs to be stable before he can come home.

Thanks for praying for our family's health too. It seems like the flu is gone. Mikaila has had a cough and headache today though and I just took her temperature before bed and she has a fever of 102. I really hope that this is isolated and not the start of something else. Please pray that she feels better soon and that no one else gets sick. Marcus can't come home to a sick house either.

Hey... another answer to prayer... We got a dryer through freecycle today. Yeah!!

Thanks for your prayers. God is working miracles.
