Latest on Victoria
I had a chance to speak with Catherine this evening and she sure sounded exhausted. She was overjoyed at the meals, snacks, items, and volunteers that have come forward to help her and her family. Little Victoria is sitting with Tiffany tonight getting lots of lovins as Mommy went home to try and get some rest.As of yesterday the doctors still were not addressing Catherine's concerns about refeeding so we was most adamant about certain things getting done. Her and I shared a lot of information, not that I am a doctor but having just gone through this with a most wonderful medical staff, and we talked about how our little ones coming home from these places are not like their peers here in the U.S.A. and need special consideration. Today the doctors agreed to put in a NG tube this evening to help Victoria with the weight loss she is experiencing. The speech gal is more focused on getting Victoria to drink with a cup, try different textured foods, etc. so Catherine will see if she can get someone else to help her. Victoria's MRI showed that her brain had shrunk do to malnutrition. Carrington also had the same results. This is something that can totally be prevented and should be the very reason we all storm Heaven with our prayers for these people to change their ways of treating special needs children. Also, Victoria is sporting some new hand braces in attempt to help her hands stretch out a bit, The antiobiotics for her double ear infection were started yesterday so Catherine hopes to see some improvement real soon.
Right now Catherine has asked me to thank each and everyone of you who have offered your prayers, meals, child care, donations and just love to sweet little Victoria and the rest of the family. She still says she cannot believe that they are receiving such kindness. Does anyone in the area have a carrier maybe called an ERGO? that she would be able to carry Francesca in? She is sensing that Francsca is struggling to bond so she is hoping this may help. It does need to have padding in it. She would be happy to borrow it if that would be okay.
Tomorrow Catherine is going to try and send some pictures so you all can see what a sweet angel you all are helping and praying for.
Have you seen the Chip in??? WOW, with almost a month before it ends 89% of what a few blogger friends wanted to do for this family is in the bank! I just gush thinking about the love of Christ floating through cyberville to help a family they may not even know personally... (like me). Thank you friends who have helped. Your reward is in heaven.
