Today has been a good day for Joshua. They said that he had a couple episodes where he quit breathing, but that's normal for his age because the brain is still working on communicating with the rest of the body.
When we went in this morning he was sucking on a pacifier and seemed to really enjoy it! (I will try and get a picture of that soon!) when we went back tonight I was able to hold him in my hands while Tyger, his nurse for this evening, changed his bedding. She weighed him at 1 lb 13 oz tonight. She checked to make sure he ate all his food from the last feeding and he's eating good! I can't wait to hold him in my arms!
It has been a much rougher day for me and Derek. We were released from the hospital, which I was super excited about until we had to go home without our baby boy. The good thing about it is that we know he's in great hands with the Memorial staff and even greater Hands with our Father.
We are going to cling to this verse for the next few months!
Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares for you!
1Peter 5:7 Isn't it great knowing that we have a Father that truly cares about our every care and concern, however big or small.
Specific requests:
Though it's normal for him to quit breathing, please pray that he would not have those episodes.
His white blood cell count still went up. Please pray that it will go back down and that he will remain free of infection.
For his ultrasound on the brain on Monday, that it will be free of internal bleeding.
That we can balance time at home with Maddy and time at the hospital with Joshua.
For us to be a light for Christ to all the nurses, doctors, and other NICU parents.
Thanks again for all the prayers!!!!!!
