It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord.

Update on Catherine

Posted by on


Catherine continues to do very well! She now weighs 3060 grams which is just 2 grams shy of 6# 12 oz! It has been over a week since she has lost any weight and her average gain for the past 7 days is 21 grams a day. Her feeds are now going in over 90 minutes instead of 2 hours. She had a few small spitting up episodes last night, but none today and she took a whole bottle this evening and kept it down. She is able to breastfeed twice a day and she does great. We are very optimistic and so are her doctors. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we pray for all of you!
