Day 7-Kangaroo Mama

Matthew 7: ²⁴ “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. ²⁵ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. ²⁶ But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. ²⁷ The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

Words can't explain the day we have just had! Yes he has lived one week at this point but lets keep praying for one more day. We had a huge day today that proves to me prayer works. He is our little miracle baby and has exceded all of our expectations. Anjie got to hold him for the first time today (kangaroo care). He also came off of his light so we can see his beautiful face for now. We just finished his first feeding which was an amazing experience in itself. Yes he is my son so he took it like a champ. He actually looked up afterwards and asked me to run to Wendy's and grab him a cheeseburger.

I just want to encourage you guys if you aren't already to start building your house on the Rock. The rock is the foundation of God's word. Anjie & I in our daily lives have done so through reading, studying & memorizing. God used those disciplines to ground us for the storm of a lifetime. We never had a clue what he was preparing us for. There is no other way to make it through in my opinion.

As for the brain scan the date was confused so it happens tomorrow. For some reason we seem to have some peace about it. We will let you know as soon as possible.

For my prayer warriors:

Levi-For his brain to top bleeding. For him to continue to eat milk. For his BP to remain stable. For one more day of life.

Anjie-REST!!!

Trent-Peace

Talk about priceless pictures! Yes thats a mini passifier in one of them. He sucked on it some too.
