Last night, Noah was placed on the osculating ventilator and received a blood transfusion due to low platelet counts. He's doing well, but certainly scared the daylights out of his Mom and Dad. Please keep those prayers coming!
We know our journey will be filled with ups and downs. We pray for increased strength in our faith to carry us through these dark and scary days. For patience with each other and the staff who is taking such amazing care of Noah. For good health for both of us as we struggle to find balance between taking care of ourselves, Grace and Noah. For the wisdom to inform our support crew of our needs in a clear way when we aren't even sure of what we need. And for clarity through the fog, that each day we become better parents for Noah and Grace and are able to do what we must to keep him safe and healthy.
Today I am thankful Noah is an outside baby, receiving top level care, that Greg and I were able to sleep 6 hours straight (our first real rest in over 48 hours) and for the love, light and support around us. Noah is amazing, life is GOOD even if it's filled with moments of helplessness and fear. There are also amazing moments in which my heart shows it's capable of loving another child in this profound and blessed way. Moments in which I look at my husband and fall so much deeper in love with him than I ever felt possible. And silly moments where your work family calls and takes your mind of everything with chit-chat and a cookie bouquet!
Love you all. We are blessed.
