back and forth

Life's been pretty "back and forth" lately. Back and forth to the hospital and home for me, and Amy, at times. We've put over 220 miles on the van in the past three days. Kate is worth it. I did go to work and teach today, but I am now headed back to the hospital to be with Amy and Kate. I still have not seen Aidan in three days. I miss my little buddy. Hopefully tomorrow.

Kate update: Kate's going to be fine, but it is going to take a bit more time to get her used to a bottle, actually to suck on it, and to then get her the full amount of nutrients she will need to catch back up to where she should be growth-wise. We have a nutritionist who is going to be giving us the amounts of liquids and solids we'll need to give her daily, and then we'll break that down to how much per meal. Kate did take 5 oz from a bottle for breakfast this morning, but she did not suck on it. That should come, though. We are confident that the LORD has been answering all of your prayers for Kate. We are excited about bringing her home, but the doctor told us yesterday that it would be another two days (we're hoping that means she'll be coming home tomorrow - Saturday - night). Thank you for your continued prayers and support. Our body is a loving one (and I'm not just talking about the local body of ncc, but of all the believers involved in our lives). "God is good all the time. All the time, God is good!"
