Connor is doing amazing. They say that no news is good news, so you probably figured there has been a lot of good news recently. Sara was able to hold Connor again yesterday - this time she did not need to change into a gown. She was able to hold him just like a normal, healthy, tiny baby. Today, I will get to hold him for the first time. I am very excited!!! He now weighs 2 pounds 7 ounces. He has been put on a eating plan and is doing well with it. His food intake will double every day until he is a chunky monkey (not pronounced like donkey).
Not only is Connor doing well, but so is our family life. This past week about half of our church came over on wednesday night and helped landscape our yard and get some painting done in the basement. It was a great success. I think all the work was done in 1 hour; it would have definitely taken me several days on my own. Our kitchen sink is installed and our garbage disposal is working, the fridge and the laundry appliances are next on the list. (oh joy) Still with all of that going on, I was able to make it out to a Tiger's game. We had great seats and a beautiful afternoon to watch the first place team play just like they did the last time I watched them play (that was in 1992). It was still a lot of fun and we got to eat tons of junk food, so it goes down as a win in my book.
On the serious side, please continue to pray for us and Connor. We started getting the hospital bills - OUCH! Please pray that the medical assistance would work out well and that medicaid would help cover the bulk of these bills (these things typically do not work out in my favor). Or else please pray that God would give us 50 extra dollars a week for the next 50 years. Either way works for me. Please also pray that Connor would develop quickly so that he can get his intestines reattached so we can take him home. It is still a struggle to not have him with us, but we know who is on the throne.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. - Romans 8:28
