Journal entry by Jordan Heyer — 1/22/2016 Upon speaking with doctors this morning Beca and I are delighted. "She's doing better than yesterday" was one of the first things Doctor Colby said this morning. She had a bacterial infection at birth that's been treated and cured ( E. coli). The endocrinologist came yesterday and did there tests on her pituitary glands to see if they are producing adequate amounts of the hormones her body needs to survive. The only one that is low are her cortisol levels but that may just be because of the prematurity. We won't really know until later on. But those words, "later on" keep coming out of the doctors mouth which is giving us so much hope. It's really very scary but we are so hopeful and putting so much faith in God to do the right things no matter what that may be, and to show the doctors the best way to help our baby. Thank you for the prayers we are so grateful, and please keep them coming. ...
