At The Parsonage

November 6th, 2012 by Aubri

We’re getting settled back in again here at the parsonage. Ephraim is doing very well and even though we may never know what caused his set back we’re all just thankful that he seems to be on the mend. He is still not up to his birth weight but finally weighing in at 7 lbs, up from when we left the hospital, a good sign. He’ll continue to be weighed at our local clinic once a week to monitor his progress and of course we’ll all be looking out for any signs of regression. He is eating and sleeping so well, hopefully that continues too!

It’s good to be home but I have to say, being waited on and cooked for was kind of nice….

Yes, a girl could get used to this!

Ephraim is Home

November 3rd, 2012 by Phil

Thanks for the prayers and compassion.


We don’t know what the issue was, though either an illness or protein intolerance is likely.

He is on a special pre-digested formula, but is now is re-hydrated, eating much better, and finally able to digest.

 

 

 

Ephraim Doing Better

November 2nd, 2012 by Aubri

Ephraim was hospitalized yesterday with moderate dehydration and more weight loss but we are very pleased with the improvement we are seeing today. After fluids and some potassium, he is not only looking so much better but he is also finally starting to make more “normal” diapers. I’ll spare you the details, but just say I’ve never been more excited about poop in my life!

Thanks be to God for His gifts of doctors, medicine and the love of friends and family. Please continue to pray for Ephraim as we move toward the possibility of taking him back home and figuring out how to keep him on the mend.

New Life and Prayers for Ephraim

October 29th, 2012 by Aubri

 

Our sweet little guy isn’t doing so well. We don’t know yet what the problem is, but he isn’t gaining weight and is starting to show signs of dehydration. We’ve changed his formula and if he hasn’t shown any improvement he may be admitted to the hospital for observation and fluids. Please pray for him, his improvement and some answers as to what may be going on.

*Update: We’ve decided to give Ephraim a few more days before we put him in the hospital. His vitals are strong and he is eating well. He’ll be reevaluated on Friday unless something changes before then.
