It's Saturday morning. We are so thankful for a little rest. Andy and I alternated the night last night and slept about 3 hours uninterrupted. It's amazing how just a little rest can make a difference.
Lauren had a much better night. NO SEIZURES! YIPEE!! :)
The pediatrician has already made rounds this morning and thinks that we are definitely making baby steps in the right direction. The doctor is now looking to see her fever continue to decline, begin weaning her off of the oxygen, and to begin very minimal tube feeds of pedialyte...to see if her stomach can tolerate it. The pediatrician wants to get official approval from the surgeon before they start the feedings...(surgery has not rounded yet, so we don't have the official okay yet.)
If her tummy handles the pedialyte, then they will begin her antibiotics through her tube as well. The oral antibiotics that they will be using are Omnicef and Clindamycin...for the Sanfilippo mom's keeping record.
The success of how she tolerates these changes will determine how soon she will be able to come home. BUT, at least we are going in the right direction!
What we are praying for today:
fever reduction
tolerate feeding
slower, smoother breathing
tolerate oxygen removal
clear her secretions on her own
Thank you all SO much. Andy and I are so humbled by the support. We can not thank you enough for the love you all show for our Baby Lauren.

Cindy and Handy Andy,
Love the Mom's blog as communication; it's wonderful. The Rucker's are praying especially for the specific requests. We love you McCraw's. Tell Andy that F.B. is fighing with her sinuses but not with the "other" problem! HA
WE LOVE YOU.

Dear McCraw family,
I am Jessica Calvert's mom in Bowling Green, Ky. I want you to know that Jessica has called us and there are now some prayer warriors in BG who will be praying for all of you - and one(that I know of) in Louisiana - my mom. Thank you for your faith and for being so open to share your journey and "put" yourselves out there for all the world to see.
