Today was a roller coaster day for me. Though I didn't really do much, my lack of sleep and having a baby, even though small has caught up to me. Joshua had many episodes last night and after having a lung scan, they decided to put him back on cpap. The nasal canula just wasn't giving his still little lungs the oxygen he needed to breath comfortably and not get worn out. At fist I was thinking this was a step back, but as I really thought and prayed and cried about it, I realized that God's timing isn't always our timing. Maybe he was rushed a bit onto the nasal canula and God wanted him to be on cpap a little longer to develop his lungs a bit more! I have been praying that he would have less episodes, and that prayer has been answered since his been back on cpap.
We have seen the love and power of community in so many ways in the past two weeks. From anonymous gifts to gift cards, cards, some Nikes (love me some new kicks) and SO MUCH prayer. God has been faithful. We met some people today for the first time that said they had been praying constantly for Joshua. Though I know it's true with so many other people, it was just amazing to witness it first hand.
Specific requests:
That God will be glorified today by our family
Continue to pray for his breathing, continued less episodes.
That he will eat well, they will feed him the right amount of food and he will gain weight.
For wisdom for all the staff in the NICU as they care for Joshua and all the other kids in there.
For rest and health of all of us.
