Well...Lexi didn't fail her test, which is definitely an answer to prayer, but she barely passed it. Lexi didn't asparate. The esophagous is also controlled by the cranial nerves, so it is not reacting properly when she swallows. They are going to allow Lexi to do "therapeutic feeds". She will be given two ml's of pedialite by bottles (2 ml's equals half a teaspoon). This is a little disappointing, but we remain optomistic that she will get her feeding coordination down and do better at the swallowing next Friday. Lexi remains very fussy. When she is awake, she cries all the time. The doctors will look into this more this weekend.
Prayer requests:
Please pray that Lexi make huge improvements this week on her feeding, so she will pass her swallowing test next Friday.
Please pray that Lexi will find a cause for her fussiness.
Thank you for all your prayers for the twins. Libby is starting to feel better today!!!

I am so glad she at least passed then it's at least something she can work on and hopefully she will love those 2ml's sooooo much that she will remember and want MORE!!!!
SO glad Libby is feeling better :) Wish I could say the same here:(
God is amazing in the way he's looking over you. You have to feel HIS LOVE!!!
It was great to hear the news about Lexi. She has made wonderful progress this week. We and those around us keep praying for her. Several teachers at school ask daily about her. I was at the Christmas workshop at the school the other day and two ladies ask about her. They had her on their prayer chain at church and I hadn't told them. A lady that I work with had called them. Also, Rob was at the local tire shop and the owner ask about Lexi and said he had put her on another prayer chain. I love how Christians bind together to support each other!!!. We love you and will continue to pray that Lexi makes progress hopefully by leaps and bounds, but even if it is small steps we will praise God. Keep your chin up! Our God is AWESOME!!!
Love,
Becky, Rob, Matt, Craig
