Feedings

Hi everyone....

Sorry it has been so long since our last update, but things have been pretty crazy. Zeke is still having a hard time with his feedings so the doctors have decided to give it another week and if he is still struggling they are going to put in a g-tube (a feeding tube that goes directly into his stomach) so that we can take him home. The good news about this is obviously that we an go home, but also that because he is digesting and able to eat, we can work on his feedings at home and the feeding tube will be temporary. He had another MRI this week which showed that there is still fluid and the ventricles are still enlarged. It appears that he has several brain anomalies but it was difficult to see anything for sure because of all of the fluid. He has had several blood tests but so far there is no diagnosis. We've had a lot thrown at us this week, so please pray for us to have the strength to deal with what God has given us.

Also, in case you weren't aware, we are now staying at the Hospitality House--a house beside the hospital where people who live out of town and have loved ones in the hospital can stay. It's been a blessing to be closer, but difficult to be away from home. If you need to reach us, please feel free to call our cell phones.

Thank you all so much for your prayers. We humbly ask that you continue to pray for Zeke and our family. We ask for prayers for strength, endurance, and that we will be able to accept whatever God's will is for Zeke's life. Please continue to pray for Zeke's eating, his hear rate (as he's had occasional drops which will keep him in the hospital), and God's will for our future. We cannot thank you all enough for your love, support, and prayers.

In Christ,

Brian and Melissa
