I am so thrilled to be able to say Phoebe did not throw up all weekend long. We were about to give her her medicine the first morning we were there and I realized I had forgotten it. But there was nothing we could do about it. Well, as the weekend progressed I realized that she hadn't thrown up at all. I couldn't believe it.
And she's nursing more and more and keeping it down. We are back home today and needless to say we will not be giving her any more medicine. I had wondered about a week ago if she was not tolerating the medicine very well. And now I think we have our answer.
She doesn't have any weight gain to speak of but she is maintaining. She weighed in at 10.7.2 today. (Can't wait to see 11 lbs!) She's also more active. If you lay her on her back she kicks her feet and swims with her hands and makes the cutest little happy face with her tongue sticking out of the side of her mouth.
I am very encouraged. Thankyou for your prayers.
(I also wanted to add that about 4 days ago we started feeding her breastmilk in her tube
instead of just formula. But we fortify the breastmilk with a little bit of formula to increase the calories. So I'm also really happy about that change.)

Psalm 27:14 One of Daddy's favorite verses.
Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
LORD an Abundant Helper
Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD, O my soul!
I will praise the LORD while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation.
His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;
In that very day his thoughts perish.
How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
Whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Who made heaven and earth,
The sea and all that is in them;
Who keeps faith forever;
Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets the prisoners free.
The LORD opens the eyes of the blind;
The LORD raises up those who are bowed down;
The LORD loves the righteous;
The LORD protects the strangers;
He supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He thwarts the way of the wicked.
The LORD will reign forever,
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the LORD!
