Day 28 - Four Weeks

Ps. 145:14 The Lord sustains all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down.
I can't even believe its been four weeks. Looking back it is all a blur. Things that we worried so hard about turned out to be non issues. Levi have been on the vent most of his stay. He had a surgery come and go. He has started feeding and stopped feedings. Now he has started back on them again. Levi had that brain bleed too. Its still in the back of our minds. Will it have any impact on him at all? We will not know for a good while so why worry. One thing that has stayed the same through all of the changes is God's constant provision on this situation. He is still with us and He is still in control. He sustains our every second because we have no power to do so. It's a beautiful thing that we just can't explain with words.
 
Levi is having a really good day today. He is getting weened more & more on the vent settings. The steroids have really done their job. Levi should be coming off of the vent in the next day or so. We have to believe this time will be for real. Its hard to have confidence because of last Saturday but we must believe God will give him the strength he needs. Levi also has done well with his feedings. His last one didn't fully digest but hopefully that's not a sign of anything. He doesn't currently have any signs of infection which is a great blessing.
 
For my prayer warriors
 
Levi - To get off of the vent. To grow. To tolerate the feedings. No infections. No swelling.
 
Anjie - Rest!!!
 
Trent - Peace & rest.
 
Levi is getting more & more animated. Check out his cry face here. He can't make noise or tears so its kinda funny to watch.

  2. So glad that Levi had a really good day and the vent setting was able to be turned down. Praying the steroids continue to help his lungs develop and he can switch from the vent to the CPAP very soon. "Good day" reports are joyous news!
