One of the side effects from withdrawal is muscle tightness. We have to do physical therapy with Little Bug twice a day.

This has been the most difficult thing we have dealt with since bringing Little Bug home. Thank goodness it is temporary and with the therapy Little Bug’s muscles will be just fine.

It takes both of us to do the therapy. This morning we think we have found the best way and best time to do it.

Please pray that her muscle tightness will improve quickly and only one visit to the physical therapist will be necessary. We have an appointment for the 22nd.

Night two went very well! The nurse told us it was okay for Little Bug to have one 5-hour stretch between feedings per day. We were hoping that stretch would be through the night and it was! We put Little Bug to bed at 10:15pm and she woke to eat around 3:45am!

I think there was one period in that time where Little Bug awoke and just wanted her passy. But even with a passy, she wants it a while and then spits it out without crying for it to be put back in her mouth!

Little Bug has fit right in with our family and is so loved and adored. Here is Grandma and Little Bug, swaddled in the Faith Blanket her Grandma knit stitch by stitch in faith knowing one day she would be here.

We continue to stand in amazement at the miracles God has performed.
