Tomorrow my son will no longer be a Philistine. For those of you a little behind on your old testament, Brody is scheduled for his circumcision. I think the look on his face says it all; "They're gonna cut where?' OieVay!!! This little fighter has been through so much I hate for him to have to go through one more thing, but this is encouraging news as it is a sign that he is improving well enough to take on this procedure. Ofcourse, as his dad, I might add that it is a Major procedure :>) Anyway, it has been a decent day but not without some spells, if he can just get this breathing thing down we will really be on our way.As Brody's Daddy, I want to thank all of you again for all the prayers and encouraging words, they have certainly helped to carry Deedee and I through. I want to say how much love and support we have received from our parents. Thanks Mom and Dad, Big E and Gram Cracker. Our Sib's... (D and I are truly blessed with awesome Bro's and Sis's and our In-laws are "in" not outlaws.)
Updates on other NICU families; Baby Trevor is stable, but still in need of much Prayer. Hanna Grace is still on schedule to go home early next week, And there have been so many admissions this last few days Deedee and I are sure we will be meeting many more families.
I want to Praise God Almighty that he has trusted Deedee and I with this opportunity to reach out to other families. I still am amazed that he uses me in his service and gives us the privilege of inviting others into His Kingdom. All are welcome and all are wanted, God sees us all as his children and He Loves you and I the same. I can understand how he loves Deedee as it is hard to know her and not love her, me on the other hand is a little tougher. I am not down on myself I just know myself way better than anyone else does and I am tough to love. But this verse tonight that I am going to share with you all sums up Brody's day tomorrow and how God views us all.
Colossians 3:11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
So, therefore, I look forward to meeting all the other NICU parents and Hope that Deedee and I can encourage them as Christ has encouraged us through so many of you.
Thanks!

I was circumcised without my consent too. Wish I hadn't been. Should have been my choice. Good luck Cody.
I LOVE MY BABY BROTHER !!!!
I love how you said Oie Vay DEF. made me laugh
Luv U Uncle Brent !!
Dear Brent, When I looked at the picture, I for a flash instant saw my Dad, Brody's Great Grandfather. The position of the hand on his head, and the ear too. I have always thought the size of his hands are like Dad's. It now seems to me that his ears are somewhat like Dad's too. I know one thing, you, Brent have inherited Dad's desire to tell others about our wonderous Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you so much for thinking of others and their need for a Savior, even when you are also focused on your little family. To see the "big picture" when you have such a blessed wife and child is truly a gift from God. Just curious, how much does Brody weigh now. People keep asking me. "Just another way our nation is fixed on physical well being" Love you all , Aunt Naomi
