This morning I got an e-mail from the FCL list, and I can't get it off of my head, so I thought I'd post it here and we can pray along with them:

From Maria, from Fran:

>Please say a quick prayer for our new baby, Gianna. She's had 3 diapers
>today that worried me. The first was bright orange... and now the
>latest is blood red. I just spoke with her neonatalogist and she told
>us to take her in to the ER if she is running a temp... which she is...
>so off to the hospital we go.

I saw last night on another list that she got a clean bill of health. It was tested and was not blood in the stool. Reaction to something mom ate?

Just got this from the FCL list. Thanks for the update, Mary! And praise God!

Quote:
Just a quick note to say 'THANK YOU!!!' for all your prayers. After spending most of Tuesday night in the ER, and then a follow up re-check with the pediatrician Wednesday morning, I am relieved to report that according to all the doctors, Gianna is just fine. No one has been able to give us an explanation that I can easily understand... but the simple fact is, despite her stools being absolutely blood red, there was definitely NO blood in her stool. Apparently she reacted badly to something in my breast milk... but whatever it was didn't actually harm her in any way... just severely "freaked me out". My husband said this experience is "proof" that white is indeed made from all colors (a scientific fact I have never easily accepted)!

Thanks again for your prayers (and Thank You Maria for passing my hurried request on to this list)! Obviously God was listening to all of you!!!

~Frances


PS: If any of you are interested in seeing some pics of Gianna, she has a Caring Bridge website that is reasonably up-to-date. The URL is: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/giannabutek

The password is 'saintmolla'.


I just realized today that the Buteks are the people behind "Illuminated Ink"!
