Great news–one of our prayer requests has been answered in a big way! Yesterday Naomi had some special fluid put into her feeding tube to test and see if her intestines are fully connected. Both Jen and I were feeling some anxiety about the results, since we hadn’t heard anything, and were starting to fear that the news was not good. But when we got to the NICU, we learned that Naomi actually pooped–her first poop at 9 days of life! I know it probably sounds like a really weird thing to be celebrating, but the fact that her intestines work is HUGE. It means she can now finally start receiving tiny doses of breast milk–another big improvement!
