Quick Update on Norah
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update to pray for us as this afternoon we had Norah admitted to Royal University Hospital to have her feeding tube put in. While it was difficult to watch the tube go in for the first time we are seeing that she is taking a lot more food in already. In just two feedings she “drank” 6 oz, which before would have taken most of the day. So we are beginning to see the advantages, however, we are still getting used to having Norah hooked up to machines and equipment to monitor her.
As I write this I am at home alone as Libby has gone to the grandparents until Norah can come home and there is only room for one parent to sleep on the peds ward. It is very weird to be at home alone. While one would think that I should be able to catch up on all that sleep I’ve been missing, however, I’m not sure I will get much rest tonight.
Please pray that our hospital stay can be cut as short as needed and that Dawn and I will feel comfortable to bring Norah home soon and continue tube feeding on our own. After seeing the tube go in, I just can’t think of one of us having to put the tube back in when she pulls it out or it needs to be changed. Thankfully we know some nurses 
Lastly, pray for Dawn tonight as she is alone at the hospital.
that would be hard to see… praying for strength.
When my niece was 3 months old she too had to have a feeding tube put it. It helped her grow so much bigger and stonger. You will become comfortable with how it all works, as horrible as that is. Ask a TON of questions, even if you think it’s stupid and you will be just fine. Your little girl is a fighter, we know that already. Sending Prayers to Dawn (as a night in the hospital with your kid is never fun) and prayers for you as being home, alone when you want to be elsewhere is never fun either. Trust in God and eachother and you will do wonderfully.
