Be Positive

Connor is doing well.  He did have to receive some blood this week, since his red blood cell count was low.  This is fairly common in premature infants so it's no big deal for Connor.  He was just getting tired from trying to grow so fast with so few blood cells.  He has also been put back on insulin since his blood sugar was low, but he continues to breathe room air through the CPAP.  It seems that the updates are getting more redundant and boring.  Thank God for that.  It may not be as exciting for readers, but it is very exciting for our family.

As I talk to people, I continue to hear more and more success stories about premature babies who grow up to be just fine - even outstanding.  Please pray this for Connor.  This is one thing that worries me, the prospect of having to raise a kid who is not fully developed (either mentally or physically).  Connor is doing great and is not showing any signs of permanent damage, however, the possibility is still there; and we would appreciate your prayers for his continued success and full development.  Our God is mighty to save and more powerful than we can imagine. I know that he will give us what we ask for. 


"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!  - Matthew 7:9-11
