Wet Diapers

Toby continues to have wet diapers!! :) Overall we're cathing lower volumes, so this is a good pattern too. We have to continue to cath as they're telling us that 20-50 ml is a good amount, and that's what we're finally getting...before it's been a range between 40-120 ml. Please pray that he will continue to have wet diapers and be able to empty his own bladder, so we can cath. him less and less. We probably won't know for sure if we can change the frequency of his cathing until we go to clinic on January 26th. Grandma Fabian goes home today, so we will see how we do on our own this weekend. Thankfully, Grandma Holt comes on Monday, so we won't completely fly solo for another week! 

A Difficult Day

It's been a difficult day for me emotionally. They told us we would be going home, and the day just dragged on and on, until finally they released us at 6:00 p.m. We're also having to catheterize him more than we expected, about every 3 hours. The nerves to Toby's bladder are damaged from the Spina Bifida, therefore affecting the muscle, so his bladder gets unusually large. To keep it from being enlarged, we have to catheterize him every 3 hours. Even then, we're getting large amounts, and I just wonder how we're ever going to get any sleep. He has several doctor's appointments already scheduled also, and that is overwhelming also. I wonder how I will be able to handle these new challenges and still be there for the other two boys. God has been continually asking me today if I will trust him. I know He is in control, and will continue to hold us in His arms. We choose to continue to trust HIM for HE has a perfect plan.
