Hampster Cage

Because I don't have the mental energy to write a long blog, this will be short. Here's where we are. Kaylan will be in the hospital awhile longer...not really sure yet how long. She's not gaining weight. They can't discharge a baby that's not gaining weight. They've upped her calorie intake but she's not tolerating it well and she's throwing up most of what she consumes. I feel like I'm spinning my wheels in a hampster cage. They are calling her "failure to thrive" (google it). If we can't get her to consistently gain weight and keep down the volumes she's taking in, then we'll be looking at other options like coming home with a G-tube (surgerically inserted feeding tube). That's obviously not what we want, so we'd rather her stay in the hospital awhile longer and try to get over the next hump. Once she comes home, we want her to STAY home.

We're battling with the Lord every night for her. Please do the same with us. She needs the prayers. I don't want my faith to experience "failure to thrive".
