Sleeping with Daddy after a hard day's work
As for Bro-------his rash is completely gone and he had a wonderful day. We got dressed and went for a drive in the sunshine (and to let Brent have quiet for a nap - he's still under the weather). Brody had a bath today which he tolerated. Only once has he cried during his bath. And sometimes he loves it and kicks and splashes but today he was indifferent. He had 5 5oz bottles and took his medicine like a champ. I have this cool little thing my cousin's wife got us that is a medicine dispenser with a nipple. Well when Bro came home he couldn't use it because the med would choke him and he would desat and brady so I would have to shoot his med very slowly into the corner of his mouth. But in the last few days he sucks it right down out of the little dispenser thingy (yes, that's the technical name). He even slept from 11pm to 7am. Our other Dr appointment for tomorrow was rescheduled to Tuesday (due to insurance coverage for Brody's Cynagis shot). He is such a good baby boy. I still can't believe he's mine. God's goodness is overwhelming.
Baby Christian is going to have heart surgery either tomorrow or Friday. He has a narrowing of the main artery to the heart. Since I didn't talk to the docs, I don't understand it a lot. I do know that it can be called co-arc and the surgery should help Christian's other health issues. Christian's Dr is the same Dr Phillips that we love and he is confident that this is a pretty uncomplicated surgery but scary for Jill and Jimmy nonetheless. And I totally understand why. Christian is still less than 4lbs and he has had both lungs collapse during his first two weeks. So please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I will keep you updated.

Just to let you know, I've seen that pose before. Only it was Uncle Gene, with our kids when they were sick, and I was stressed to the max. Probably every parent has at least one of them catching some shut-eye any time they can. Just remember, these are very precious times and do get your rest, but to quote a Bible verse of my own, "do not grow weary in well doing". This is your calling for now and it is the Lord's work as much as any other. You are both doing a fantastic job, and I just hope that Uncle Gene and I will see Brody in person real soon! Love, Aunt Naomi
