What's on our minds

Praying this week for...

Jude:
  • That whatever caused him to take several steps back resolves itself quickly
  • That he's able to be weaned again on his oxygen settings and be successful at it this time
  • That he continues to bottle feed well
  • That his brain continues to heal, that the ventricles return to their appropriate size, and that he does not suffer from any disabilities or other long-term problems
  • That his liver dysfunction improves (the GI reviewed his labs and concluded that the dysfunction is from the TPN he was on and will probably work itself out in a few months...we're hoping for sooner!)
  • That he does not need to come home on oxygen (whenever that day will be)

Hazel:

  • That her home oxygen for feeding is very temporary (we'll see the pulmonologist in a week and a half to 2 weeks for her first appointment, and hopefully her last!)
  • That she gets better at breastfeeding and takes full-feeds
  • That she continues to gain weight appropriately

For both:

  • That their eyes develop "normally" (they both have exams again this week)
  • Overall development

For us:

  • Good health and rest now that our schedules are even crazier
  • Patience and guidance as we raise two preemies

We are grateful for so much. We have been so blessed and surprised by the generosity and encouragement of so many this week. Thank you for journeying alongside us!
