Day 30
I headed home today to be with Gavin while Trent remains at the hospital with Teagan. We are still awaiting the news on whether the new heart medicine is helping her with the 'SVT' rhythms she's been having. The cardiologist is supposed to review her weekend rythms tommorrow (monday) and let us know what he thinks. Once we get the ok on her heart being stable, we'll just have to work out our training with her NG tube (feeding tube) and her medicine schedule, and then we should be able to go home! Trent got a lesson in placing the NG tube today, and overall I think it went well. I'm a little anxious about learning everything, but Trent said it wasn't too bad. Teag will be going home with a feeding tube until she can take her full feeds from the bottle. Then we will be taking out that ugly thing! I can't wait to see her little face without it! We're praying for good news on her heart tommorrow, as that is the next hurdle we need to get through! I'm also praying that Trent gets a few hours of sleep these next few days! Thank you for all the comments on here, its so nice to hear all of the encouragement. Also, at the bottom of the screen there are a few links that better explain Teag's condition and treatment if you want more info!

Trent and Susie - We just learned of your sweet baby's struggle last week when Gary talked with Jim - your Mom filled me in last night and gave us the blog address. What a beautiful, precious little angel you have! You are in my prayers daily and our hearts are with you - she's a fighter! Jim & Jan
Trent and Susie,
What an amazing family. As I look over your journal of Sweet Baby Teagan, it brings tears to my eyes. The strength and love that is shown throughout every day is just incredible. I thank you for sharing this delicate journey with all of us. It is such a reminder to all how precious life really is. What a gift she is to you, and what a gift you are to her. God has a plan for you, all of you. He has placed this sweet angel in your lives for a reason. You all are loved so much. You will continue to be in our thoughts, in our prayers, each and every day. Give Gavin hugs for us. Take care. Kati and Jason
What a little doll, all dressed up in pink! mommy's favorite color! She just melts my heart every time I look at her, I love her so much!
I continue to pray for God to give you both strength and assurance as you care for Teagan and learn all the procedures and medications for going home.
