Doing well

Jadyn has been home for a little over a week now. She had a doctor appointment this week, and she is doing excellently. She weighs 9.5 pounds, which puts her right on target for a normal child. Wow, what an amazing week! It has sent our family reeling a little, but we have an overwhelming sense of gratitude to God for keeping us all sane and pulling us together. It has been an awesome blessing to have so many people come forward and tell us they are praying for us. We have a new appreciation for the power of prayer and the sovereignty of God, that's for sure.

She's still a little delicate, but doing well. We were told that she would not be able handle a cold very well, so we're trying to stay as healthy as possible and not expose her to anything. With RSV season upon us, it's exceptionally important. The doctors and nurses all told us that, with her delicate respiratory system, RSV would be especially hard on her. She would doubtless end up in the PICU (Pediatric ICU), and there it is even more difficult to keep her from being infected. So, we pray and keep our hands clean.

Thank you all again for praying. God has blessed us exponentially through you, and we are grateful.
