I'm thankful for answered prayers...

I was able to stop at the hospital after school yesterday. And I wanted to let you know that God does answer prayers, (in case anyone doubted)!!

I arrived at the NIMU, (Hannah has been moved out of NIC...answered prayer #1!!) I was instructed to "scrub-up", (I was still wearing my scrubs, which are required at my Tuesday class...so I fit right in.) Then I was lead down a long hall, to the very last room, and there they were, Tami sitting in a hospital recliner...holding sweet little (4lb. 5oz. 17 in. long) Hannah Noel!! (answered prayer #2!!) She has only ONE tube which is for feeding, but she is IV free, and is doing well. (answered prayer #3!!!) I think the child just finds joy in keeping us all on the edge of our seat.

Tami said Hannah had a good few days. The new formula is agreeing with her...her stomach is remaining steady and soft...and she is digesting 99% of her food. They are going to keep her on this formula for a while...the GI specialist has a feeling that her tiny intestines have some sort of injury that needs time to heal.

She is awfully sweet. She makes the cutest little baby faces...she even opened her eyes for her "auntie" Shann!!! We spent some time trying to decide who she looks like...and quite frankly she looks a little bit like all of her siblings!!

I was nice to spend time with Tam...we usually talk on the phone way to much...and I have missed her the last couple months. I was also nice to hear her laugh...and see her smile...and see her holding that little girl. God does answer prayers...and I am so thankful for that.
