We stand in awe

God is so amazing.

We had our appointment with the pulmonologist today and she was soo thrilled by Sydney's progress. She said that as far as 26 weekers' go, Sydney has done better than so many other babies. She said her growth, breathing and general development is off the charts. She was particularly pleasedwith the fact that Sydney endured RSV and still managed to make it home without being on oxygen. She did say that we need to make sure that we keep her reflux under control because the gagging and choking can lead to milk getting into her lungs.

We also talked a lot about making sure that we do all we can to make sure that her lungs mature without her contracting any illnesses. She repeated all the things every other doctor has already said to us:

• Under no circumstances must Sydney visit any public places, especially during RSV season. This includes church, the mall, the grocery store and pretty much anywhere that does not involve seeing a doctor
• She CANNOT be around anyone who smokes, even if they are not smoking when they are around her. If the person has smoked during that day at all, it's a no go
• She cannot go to any daycare, at least not before she is 2 years old.
  
• Visitors to our home will be very limited, especially during RSV season
• Hand sanitizer and hand washing is our friend
  
• She absolutely cannot go on any plane anytime soon. I don't think you could find a bigger germ carrier than an aeroplane.
• If we ever suspect she could be getting sick at all, we need to take her to the doctor. The key is to make sure that she is treated before things get severe. Of course, we're just praying and believing for her health.

With all of that, she said that we never ever have to see her again since Sydney is doing just fine.

Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. - Habakkuk 1:5
