Progress for Julia and Grady Jeremiah!

The mastitis infection appears to be improving! Julia has gone 24 hours without any chills. The redness of the infected area is diminishing. There still is a firm area where the mastitis first appeared, but it is responding like a clogged duct. Julia is able to do some things that help relieve that pressure. Thank you to all of you for your fervent prayers for her. So many of you have let us know you are praying specifically for these things, and she is improving! Please keep praying for her, for that clogged duct to open up and for any remaining infection to be cleared up. For those of you who are curious, Julia can't turn in milk for Grady Jeremiah now because of the antibiotics. However, in God's provision she made much more than needed in the last three weeks and the hospital has it stored so that the little guy can keep getting her milk for feeds! There is much for which we are thankful.Second, we are glad to let you know that Grady Jeremiah is growing!

The little guy keeps growing! He is now 2 pounds, 4.7 ounces... That is a 40% increase in body weight from his lowest point a little more than two weeks ago! Aren't you glad we don't gain weight that fast? :-) However, for him, we are very pleased! I want you to see the difference the past few weeks have made...
