After 50 days in the NICU, Judah is finally home! He’s up to 5 lbs, 1 oz and he hasn’t had an alarm since last Friday. He’s been eating really well from Mommy and with formula, and he’s getting more and more feisty all the time.
Judah still has a liver issue that the docs are trying to figure out. He will have a HIDA scan on Monday, which is some test that they do to see what’s happening in the liver. It could take up to 24 hours, so who knows what that will be like. Then Tuesday he has his first pediatrician appointment. Then Wednesday we meet with the gastrointestinal specialist and he will tell us the results of the HIDA scan and the genetic mutation test they did last week. Please pray that these tests will give the docs the answers they need to help his liver get better.
Please pray for us these next couple of days, too. Other parents tell us that they can be pretty sleepless nights, so we’ll need extra energy and help with our attitudes which are generally not good when we’re tired.
We’re so glad to have him here at home and are so thankful to everyone who has prayed and supported us, everyone in the NICU who took such great care of him, and especially to Jesus for his help and comfort and care for us during this crazy ordeal.
