Update October 16, 2007

CORRECTION
R e-mailed me earlier and said that the goal of 15 cc/milk/hr is not correct. The goal is for Sierra Rose to be receiving all milk and no IV solution, but R doesn't know how much milk Sierra needs yet. That is probably based at least partly on her weight.

PRAYER REQUEST
The main prayer request is still the issue of Sierra's sucking reflex. The therapist tried getting Sierra to drink from a bottle today but that didn't work. Please pray that Sierra will learn to drink from a bottle this week so that she will not need to be fed directly into her stomach.

PRAISE
As shown in the video, Sierra Rose has improved considerably since first her arrival at the hospital on September 19. Thank you for praying for Sierra Rose!
