Well friends, our first few weeks "at home" are looking a little differently than we anticipated. Thursday, Jan.1, we brought Mabry to Cooks ER because she had a high temperature and have been here ever since. After running several tests and lots of poking the doctors found that she has a staph infection in her blood. They have been treating it with some strong antibiotics that seem to be working well. She feels better and is eating/sleeping/pooping/peeing normally. Because the medicine is so strong it sometimes makes her feel yucky and just causes discomfort for her little body. Our prayers right now are very specific: Pray that the blood sample they took today will not grow anymore bacteria. If it stays negative we will get to take her home in 10 days. If it is positive they will continue taking samples until a negative result, then we start the 10 day count down. I can't imagine the toll something like this takes on a 12 day old baby because I'm an adult who can barely hold it together. Please pray that God would comfort her little body and heal her quickly.
Thanks again for all your prayers. We saw through pregnancy and delivery that God is faithful and that he hears the prayers of the righteous so we are confident in that.
We continue to pray for you 3. The college class lifted Mabry up this morning before we got started. Try to rest as much as you can. Love you!
