Hazel received one round of medication to close her PDA. However, it's still open. She started receiving a second round earlier today. We are praying that after this second round, the valve is closed or is nearly closed. If not, she will have to have the surgery. Please pray that the medication is effective this time so that she doesn't have to go through surgery. On an exciting note, she is going to have the lights turned off either tonight or tomorrow night. They will be off for a little while and then her bilirubin level will be checked the next day. We are praying that it stays low. Once the lights are off, the mask will be removed from her eyes and we'll be able to see her precious little face.
According to the doctor, Jude seemed a little better today than yesterday. He received a platelet transfusion yesterday and his levels were normal today. We are still not sure if he'll be receiving surgery tomorrow. He is tentatively on the schedule for 2:00, but his doctor (who is not there on weekends) will make the final call in the morning. Though the risk for complications is small, it's still very scary for us. Please pray that all goes well, that he bounces right back, and that God guides the surgeon's hands on our delicate little boy.

Thank you for the update. We are in constant prayer. Our sermon today from Jeremiah tells us "Nothing is too hard for God" We are claiming that for these beautiful babies. We will be praying tomorrow too for good results on the procedures. We love you all. Gramsie & Grampie
Noel & Heidi, just wanted to let you know that I have been reading about your precious littles and they have come to my mind often. Each time they do, I have been praying for them and for you. I will continue to do so! --Catie
Noel and Heidi, I am a friend of your Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Jeff's.
She shared your story with me and asked if I'd lift you all up in prayer. It's an honor and a privilege to do so.
Father God,
I lift up Noel and Heidi to You. Thank You for these two young parents that love You and have put their trust in You. Please envelope them with Your love. Strengthen them by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Bless them with the peace and comfort that surpass all understanding. As they interact with the hospital staff, I pray that Your light would shine brightly in them. May they bless all those that cross their paths. As they need strength and encouragement at this time, may they be an encouragement to those around them.
As a line from one of my favorite song states, may their afflictions be eclipsed by Your glory. You are so worthy of all glory, honor and praise. You are where our help comes from. We are calling out to You Lord!
Father, I lift up Hazel and Jude to You. You love them more than we can imagine. They are so precious in Your sight. We know one of Your names is Healer. We are calling on You the Healer right now to heal these little ones, all for Your glory Lord. Touch them Father, as only You can. We praise Your Holy Name.
In Jesus' precious Name I pray. Amen
Heidi & Noel, Thank you for the updates on your little miracle babies. We are friends of Heather and Josh Haveman and have been praying for you for a while now. Heidi, if you want any support please feel free to email or call me any time.
May God guide the doctors for correct diagnoses and calmness for you both. I remember going home without the babies for the first time and it was very hard. But it was comforting to know they were in the hands of gifted caring people and God was in control.
Praying for you all! Becky & Ryan Pusztai
Been praying all weekend and reading your blog. You guys are the first I think to pray for in the mornings and as I go to sleep at night. May you feel God's amazing presence through each step you take. You have little fighters on your hands, tough babies. Praying for guidance of doctors and amazing miracles. Love you guys and praying for the best.
SO constantly remembering the four of you in our prayers. Thanks for the updates. Please know that we'd love to help if there's anything we can do! Food, drink, shoulder rub, etc. Much love and prayers to you all.
