Suck-cess

We have been having a pretty sweet week thus far! Man it's been crazy! Haddie has been doing great breathing all on her own. She is also maintaining her own temperature on her own. They keep lowering the temperature in the box and it's getting close to room temperature. That means that pretty soon she will be ready for a crib!

But today we got a surprise. We called to check on Hadassah this morning and the nurse told us that they were going to try and feed her by bottle! Up to this point she has received all her milk through a feeding tube. When we first found out about Haddie's brain injury the doctors sat us down and explained that she would most likely never be able to breath on her own (which she is doing), maintain her temperature (which she is doing), and suck and swallow (o just wait for it!). So when we got there we swaddled Haddie, Kate held her, and they gave us the bottle.

The video of what happened is below. Before watching we have to say this. The doctors and nurses at CHOP deserve some respect. They do an excellent job and they are very talented. So please understand that I don't fault them for telling us straight up what the results SHOULD be for Hadassah. But we serve a God who is bigger than what should happen. He has blessed us with a miracle that is causing many to praise Him. And we give him all the praise for the amazing things He is doing through our little girl. The doctors tell us what they think the science says. We put our hope in the One who made science. And with that...take a look at another miracle:
