| Maddy at the beach party! |
All of the Frenches have had a good day today! Stephanie, Derek and Maddy went to church and then got to hang out at Beach Party, the volunteer appreciation event at Stonebridge. Maddy had a blast dancing and playing in the big blow-ups. She passed out halfway through, but just long enough to reenergize for the second half.
Joshua is getting to be such a big boy!! He weighed in at 4 lbs, 14.5 oz. - almost to 5 lbs! He seems to be awake more at night when we visit, so it's been fun seeing him alert and looking around. He's doing pretty well with his feed right now, but not coordinating his breathing, so he has to stop every few seconds to breathe. It's been awesome to be able to see him out of his incubator, off oxygen, and getting to wear clothes. Such big changes in the short time since I visited last. God is doing amazing things with this young man!Specifics to pray for:
That he feeds well and masters the suck/breathe coordination and is awake and ready to go when it's time to feed!
His hematocrit is still on the low side, but his retic count, which tells us how well he's making new red blood cells, is really good, so his body is doing what it's supposed to do!Prayer for wisdom and blessings for the NICU staff. Just in the few times I've been here, I can see how great they are and how much they love Joshua and the entire French family!
Rest for all the Frenches. I can't imagine keeping the schedule they have. I'm tired after a couple days!
