Well......we couldn't post last night because our power was out but we did not get to bring Master Brody home. Praise God too because had we brought him home then no power for about 9 hours wouldn't have been very comforting. He had a couple spells where his saturation numbers went too low. Dr. Lynch will re-evaluate things tomorrow. As of now we do not have an idea of when he may come home, maybe a couple of days, maybe another week. I say, "When we have waited 10 years for a baby and been in the NICU for 10 weeks, what's one more week?" In the grand scheme of things......no time at all. As my niece said, "It's not like he'll start kindergarten from the NICU." We would much rather err on the side of caution. Soon enough....soon enough.....
Brody is still doing well, gaining weight like a monster (6lb6oz). I just can't believe he weighs that much. He still has "spells" but they are reflux related but they are what's keeping us from coming home.
On another note. I talked to Shane and Tabby today. They are hanging in there. It is really rough for them. Please continue to pray.
Also from Sunday's blog there is a comment from another couple, Andrew and Sheena, we have met. They lost one of their twins, Isabella, and their little Adyson is still fighting her hardest. You can go to their blog and check it out, Sheena gives the blog site on her comment. (Thank you for doing that Sheena :) They need our prayer desperately also.
Tonight makes me wonder, "Did God long for Christ to come "home"? As Jesus was walking this earth, did God look down upon His son and desire for him to be home in heaven with Him? God could have made that happen in an instant but He chose not to because He wanted to save mankind. I don't know....I just know I can think of nothing I want more than Brody home and how nothing fills that hole. Then I think there is nothing we experience on this earth that the Holy Trinity hasn't experienced already.

Dear Brent and Dee Dee, Just to say that Uncle Gene and I are continueing to remember you all in prayer. We do know that "all things work together for good, to those who love the Lord" It is so comforting to know his word and to draw on that strength in times of disappointment. I thought of you all on Monday and was concerned because of the hard and cold rains. The Lord does look out for our well being. Love you Aunt Naomi
Hang in there guys it won't be long now, thought we'd give you an update on Xander. He weighs 8lbs 9ozs and is 19 and 3/4 inches. At his follow up the 27th he got to remove the oxygen and the apnea monitor. We hope that soon you can get brody home. It's so much different than the NICU. Ours prayers go out to you and all the other families in the NICU its a long ride.
Micheal,Barbie, and Xander
Dear Brent and DeeDee,
We are continuing to pray for you and Brody everyday. Eszter is so sweet about it and is always saying her own prayer for him at bedtime and at meals. It is so good to hear how big Brody is getting and that soon he will be home with you all 24/7. We will be praying for that transition as well.
Please let the other parents know that there are those praying for them they may not even know about as well. Do you happen to know how Gabe and his family are doing? He went to Green Valley, the congregation where my parents attend now. Please let them know that my parents and us send them our prayers and concern.
Love,
Billie, Tibor and
Eszter
