More of the same


Ready to be all together as a family again.

Wyatt really is doing well though. He is eating so well that they are letting him sleep up to 4 hours at a time now before feeding him again. He is taking an of average 15mls over what they require of him at each feeding. So that is great. The bummer comes in because he is back on oxygen today. He just can't seem to figure out how to eat really well and breath really well at the same time. Either that or the eating just tires him out so much that he can't regulate his breathing. It is hard to see him struggle to thrive on his own. But he is still 10 days from his due date, so he has time. And if we stay past his due date, so be it. Just want what is best for him.

Please keep praying for Wyatt to get strong so we can go home. Pray for the rest of us to have joy in the waiting and patience while we wait. Pray for me to be a happy mommy as I drive from one place to another, each time leaving at least one of my children behind. Pray for Mitch as he is away from us a lot more in this season than he was even when I was in the hospital. And please pray for the other families in the NICU who have children who are far worse off then Wyatt. Pray that we would be a light to them, that God would give opportunities to minister to them and that He would give them peace in their storm.
