Phil 4:4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; 6do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
What a peaceful day. Thank God for one more day of life for Levi. Of course we still realize the severity of the situation but God's peace does surpass all understanding. Sure he hasn't answered every request the way we want everytime. He is still with us & He is still in control. Its His world we are just living in it. Anjie found peace today in the form of a trip home. We ran her out of here because she hasnt been resting enough for her own health. Her mother took her to the house and pampered her all day long. My wife looks like a new woman now that she is rested. I found peace today in a little father son bonding. I promised Anjie to stay by his bedside and thats mostly what I did. I did change my first diaper ever today. I used to joke around with people that I wanted my first diaper change to be with my own child so it would be special. Little did I know how true those words would end up being. After the diaper change I was able to put my hands on him for a long while and start letting him know my prescense. Hopefully this is not too much info but I wanted to give more insight into our day in case anyone was wondering. I have no profound words of wisdom but just know God can calm a storm just as quickly as he allows one to start.
On the medical side we did get word of the PDA being still of a moderate size. The slight improvement did give the doctor peace of mind to not start another course of medication right away. Anjie is still swelling and sore but I havve seen much improvement in her mobility. I slept a full night last night so I am slowly getting to normal.
For my prayer warriors:
Levi- for continued closing of the PDA. For the brain scan on Thursday to be better news than before.
Anjie- Continued healing and peace
Trent- Continued peace of mind.
