Update on Catherine

Thank you for your prayers! Catherine is doing great getting fed through the G-tube. She has not spit up at all. She continues to do great with breastfeeding and I fed her a bottle (with fortified breastmilk) this evening and she took it very well. She now weighs 2960 gm, with 2 consecutive days of weight gain. Please keep up the prayers as we pray for all of you!
