A New Day

Ps. 118:24
This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.  

Monday brings no news in terms of Evelyn's diagnosis.  However, we are rejoicing that her vitals continue to improve.  So much so that right now, we are waiting for her to wake up so they can take her off the ventilator!  They will also take the catheter out today and by this evening I should be able to try and nurse her again.

Don't ask me how that's going to work.  She still has lines in her chest and belly button and lots of monitor leads all over her.  I imagine that nursing will create a lot of beeping noises in our room. 

Please continue to remember our family before the Lord.  We have a long week ahead of us.

Grace, I've been praying for you, Brandon, and baby Evelyn... Thank you for the updates! I've been comforted by this verse lately: "...the Lord will hear when I call unto Him." Psalm 4:3.

Praying for you and baby Evelyn. I hope you were able to nurse her tonight. I can't imagine how tough it would be not be to be able to snuggle your little girl. Hope they are able to come to a diagnosis soon!
