Isaiah 40; 28-31
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Tonight our little guy was just knocked out. It may be the deepest sleep he has had. He has been messed with all day; several new IVs, the PIC line removed, a spinal tap, blood cultures, platelet test, the list goes on...he was wiped out. He normally opens his eyes when he hears his Daddy's voice and tonight he tried to open one for a split second but couldn't do it. Then back to a deep sleep he went. This verse came to Brent's heart and he shared it with me. In the spirit of rest is when God will take over and give us His strength. We are as tired as Brody looked. We trust that God will mature and strengthen Brody's body and He will also renew our strength. We are hoping in the Lord to renew our strength, our entire family, as we rest in Him tonight.
Today the PIC line was removed to try and halt the infection that Brody has in his blood system. The spinal tap was performed to confirm that this infection has not moved to his spinal fluid and his brain. His platelets are good. He has gained weight. And we were really encouraged to see how well he was resting after such a "not so nice" day. After all there is nothing as majestic as a sleeping baby and there is definitely no prettier baby in the world than your own.

Hello this cool morning. I love you guys. Yes, a sleeping baby,so serene in rest is very sweet. I know that the past few weeks have been very tiring for you and our prayers have been for Brody to grow healthy and strong and for the Lord to bless you both with his strength. Prayers are being answered even as more and more prayers go to the Lord and Father of us all. Keep the faith!! Love and all the best for a good day!Love you, Aunt Naomi and Uncle Gene
Brent & DeeDee - I have been watching Brody's development through your blog and my thoughts and prayers are with you daily. A new life is so wonderful even when it is filled with pitfalls, there is always a reason for things that happen and when you least expect it...God reveals what that reason is. You both are beautiful parents with a beautiful baby!
