I remember when I was in high school and in order to become an official certified lifeguard, part of the training included treading water in the deep end of a pool for like three minutes while holding a brick above my head. If my arms came down at all, I had to start over. That's kind of how I felt the last two weeks. I was simply treading water. When Saturday arrived, I felt like I finally found a sandbar. Not only did Silas finally end his fever spell, but I was able to drive again. Levi seemed to have a couple good days, and I've allowed myself to pick up Silas for "essential" moments. I think we all felt like a family again, so everyone was in higher spirits this weekend. Part of me feels sad feeling like a family though, because we are still missing one important member...... all in God's timing though. I might still be in the middle of the ocean trying to find my way home, but at least I found a sandbar for a few days.
We love you baby Levi!
Prayer requests:
~Levi's lungs to be clear of fluid.
~Levi to get off the ventilator.
~Levi to remain stable long enough for me to hold him again.
~Levi's continued growth and strength.
~Our new life with a baby in the NICU and a toddler at home.
Thank you so much for your constant love and prayers!

I really wanted to make a "Resurrection Garden" with Silas for Easter, he loved the dirty activity. Maybe this can be a tradition that he'll understand a bit more when he's older. |
The "tomb" is suppose to be covered with a rock and the grass will begin to grow around the dirt. Come Easter, we roll the "stone" away and see the empty tomb! Jesus is alive! |
We love you baby Levi!
