Blessed day

A whole lot has been going on over the past few days. There are a few small things left to do before the babies come home this Friday. Well, I guess I should say baby. Our oldest daughter's heart rate dropped to 62 today for about 5 seconds. At the hospital we're at, they call it a "Brady", and babies can not go home without experiencing such an episode for five days. The good news is, it self-corrected, so the doctors/nurses did not have to do anything. It very well could have been related to a monitor becoming detached, but there is not much to argue about on that, since they are well equipped to handle such things here at the hospital. Better yet, "rules is rules." Well both of them will be home Monday, which is a blessing. The girls also had there auditory tests today, and all is well with their hearing.

My wife is making excellent progress. Today she opened her eyes again for the first time. The incision made to perform the cesarean is healing nicely. Most of the swelling that was in her face has diminished significantly, and she is moving BOTH sides or her body tiny amounts.

To me, these are huge steps. This only goes to show what God can do, if we only believe. Almost two weeks ago my wife gave birth to two healthy baby girls, who happened to go through a major surgery. My wife has gone through three different medical procedures, that the doctors said would leave her in a state where she can not function up to the capacity that she previously had. The doctors, were amazed that after my wife's second procedure was performed that she was still alert enough to sign to the nurses and other staff caring for her.

Many people would wonder how positive can be seen out of all that has happened, but I believe that God will fully restore my wife, and our family will go on to share this testimony with thousands of people. I want to thank all of you for your prayers, and words of encouragement, and also wanted to tell you that God is amazing.

Please continue to pray for all of the families dealing with a loved one who is ill. There are several families that I have met over the time we have been in the hospital that have less than good news to report. Please pray that their faith stays strong, and that the spirit shows them that God's work does not have to match the report of man.
