Update on Anthony

This is a picture of Anthony holding his daddy's hand....how precious!!!

I have decided to pass on any comments from my blog to Henry and Ana, as they need all the support and encouragement they can get. So if you are praying for Anthony, please leave me a comment, even a short prayer, and I can pass it along.

Here is the update from Ana.....

WELL, THIS IS WHAT'S GOING ON: ANTHONY HAS AN INFECTION IN THE LUNGS FROM THE BACTERIA I HAD MENTIONED YESTERDAY. THE PULMONOLOGIST CAME TO SEE HIM TODAY AND SAID THAT HIS LUNGS HAVE IMPROVED A BIT FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO BUT THAT THE PROGRESS IS BEING DELAYED DUE TO THE INFECTION. THE DOCTOR SAID THAT HE BELIEVES ANTHONY WILL GET BETTER WHEN HE GETS RID OF THE INFECTION. HE IS ON ANTIBIOTICS TO HELP HIM FIGHT THIS INFECTION.
THIS AFTERNOON, THEY WILL BE CHECKING ANTHONY'S HEART AND LUNGS TO MAKE SURE THE PRESSURE IS NORMAL. PLEASE PRAY THAT THIS INFECTION GOES AWAY AND THAT EVERYTHING IS NORMAL.

JUST LIKE HIS MOMMY, ANTHONY IS EATING VERY WELL. HE IS AT 19CC'S OF BREAST MILK. HURRAY! HIS GOAL IS 20CC'S, ALMOST THERE :) THEY HAVE REMOVED THE ELECTROLYTES AND FAT THAT HE WAS GETTING THROUGH THE CENTRAL LINE. HE IS GETTING ALL HIS NUTRITION THROUGH THE BREASTMILK. THANK YOU JESUS!

THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST COMES DAILY DURING THE WEEK. YESTERDAY SHE TOLD US THAT ANTHONY IS RESPONDING WELL TO THE THERAPY AND THAT HE IS MOVING HIS FINGERS A LITTLE. HE IS ALSO BENDING AT THE ELBOW AND IS TOLERATING THE WRIST MOVEMENTS MORE. WE ARE SO EXCITED AND GRATEFUL TO THE LORD!

THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS.
