More Blessings!

Yesterday, Bryan and I got to hold our sweet Carson for the very first time.  He was 10 days old.   My heart swelled when the nurse handed my little guy over to my arms.  One of the nurses tonight told me that she prayed over Carson's bed last Thursday night when his condition was very critical.  I had tears in my eyes.  We are so thankful for all that have prayed Carson through this scary time. Last week we were hearing things from the doctors like, "if he has enough lung tissue to survive," "his vital signs are critical," "his blood pressure is not stable," "he has a tear in both lungs,"  ...  and little did those doctors know that Jesus was working a miracle in our midst.  Carson still has a very long way to go.  He sounds like a wheezy squeaky kitty cat with every breath.  It's so hard to watch his little chest work so hard to catch every breath right now.  He is doing great and holding his vital signs stable while on his nasal cannula.  The doctors are weaning him off of his clear liquid diet through his IV and moving him to a formula diet through his feeding tube.  He is on breathing treatments twice a day too.  We are so proud of the leaps and bounds he has made during his first 11 days.  

Little Miss Harper is just a princess. She is doing great with her feedings!  When I got to the hospital tonight, she had no feeding tube!   The nurse practitioner decided to go ahead and take out her feeding tube to see how she did with her feeds over the next couple of days.  That is great news.  We plan to take her carseat up to the hospital for her carseat test tomorrow.  Harper is so close to coming home with us.

Chaplain Services from the hospital delivered baby lambs to each baby in the NICU this week.  It came with a sign that told the parents that their baby had been prayed over.  How sweet.  These lambs will be treasures forever.

Meanwhile, Nathan and Jordan are doing awesome to be so flexible.  They are so fun!!!
