A night on memory lane.

Tonight I will make this short because it's late and we are weary. Brody is doing well. Still having some issues while he is digesting. But he is still in his crib and has kept his body temperature up. Tonight he weighed 4lb 8oz. We long to bring him home and to hold him with out all of the cords......

Tonight we had a shock. While looking into the LadyBug room we saw a brand new preemie. He is the son of the couple we asked you to pray for last night. He came early. He is 25 weeks gestational age, about a week and a half earlier than Bro. He weighed 1lb 14oz. Gabe, Michelle, and their new little one needs our prayers, love, and support. We feel so blessed to have gotten to know them. And we are weary for them because we know all too well the road that lies ahead for them in the NICU. We know how scared they are tonight and how shocked they are from the days events. It was truly an dichotomy of emotions. We didn't know whether to be happy Brody was here or be sad because he was here way too early and I am sure they are feeling exactly the same way tonight. I will keep you updated on them too. Tonight I ask that you earnestly pray for his first few days, they are so critical.

Just a reminder of where we have been and where we are. And the road the Kirby's will travel.
