Chloe's belly was bloated today and they couldn't figure out why. They discovered late this afternoon that she has some fluid on her belly. I still don't really understand what that means but it sounds like it's nothing right now and we hope it doesn't turn into anything. The nurse practitioner said they're just "going to watch it" for now. That's seems to be one of their most favorite phrases in the NICU... It makes me nervous. One thing that they did tell me is that this means she's probably not healthy enough for feedings. As important as it is to get some nutrition into her to make her strong we still can't do it. Frustrating.
I think I need to go to my friend Kris's facebook page really quickly. He always has inspirational words on there. Ok - here we go:
God is able to sustain us! Nehemiah 9:21 says, "For forty years [God] sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell." Praise God!
