Update October 2, 2007

Sierra Rose has been doing about the same but there are two issues that could use your prayer. At one point last night she stopped breathing due to apnea. (Apparently this isn't too uncommon, but it was scary.) I guess her ventilator kicked on for a while. Pray that Sierra will breath on her own properly and regularly as she had been doing the last several days.

Sierra hasn't been digesting R's milk too well. We're not sure what the cause is for this and we're not sure what the cure is either. Hopefully we'll know more tomorrow.

Thank you so much for your prayers! Please keep on praying for Siera Rose's physical and mental health. When you have prayed, God has listened and has given His grace. When you pray, please also pray for the other babies in NICU and for their families. The NICU room is designed to hold about 40 babies but has about 50. Some of the babies never have their mothers visit.
