Finally Some Good News!

While the past few days have been quite discouraging, today has provided a little light at the end of the tunnel.  Addy has been eating really well again today.  Her percentages for yesterday were about 85, and so far today, she is at about 94% for feedings.  Praise God!  She is very alert for feedings, and she is starting to let us know when she is hungry.  We spoke with another doctor this afternoon, and he told us that with the way she has been feeding, we should be able to take Addyson home Thursday (Friday at the very latest).  The hospital has a "rooming out" program here where on the last night before your child is discharged, they let you stay the night with them and their care is completely up to you.  We are scheduled to be rooming out with Addy tomorrow, so that means we only have to spend one more night away from her!!  They told us that even if she does need to stay until Friday, we would just room out with her for one more night.  It is such a relief that after tonight we don't have to leave without our baby anymore!  God is so good, and we are so grateful to see the end in sight.  Please continue to pray for patience and rest for Ben and I.  We are so looking forward to being at home, and more importantly, we are looking forward to having our family together for the first time.
